S.D. Evans
Strange recipes

Tonight I will quench your curiosity about the Queen's room
and the kind of conversation the clever wench had there
with the lad Lancelot she liked so well.
Also, I will let you know what went on with the knight
Sir Gawain, after he gave the hermit good day
and got to the Lake of Green Water, where the Green Maiden
waited for him: what happened and what they said to each other.
Marvels
there were, magical and mysterious
the end of journeys and far travels
strange recipes and things that are curious
nothing quite on the level.
