Jovial
Jovial
Jovial Sir John Falstaff,
rotund and jolly fellow,
made many a ribald gaffe
in reverberating bellow.
Good friend of bold Prince Hal,
he entertained with jokes.
Though sometimes he was mal,
yet John remained a bloke.
Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 10.30.24
Prompt: Write a jovial poem.
Notes: Say “jovial” to me and I think immediately of Falstaff. The word “mal” is South African slang for a crazy man and is the only rhyme for Hal, I think. Henry V was known in his younger days as Prince Hal.
