mounted with tripping king
Cath Palug rampant meets Rex Arturus
on the path to hell
in the top of a tree
on the cathedral floor
at Otranto
Arthur himself may well be
on psychedelic drugs
at least he's just after watching Abel
feeding a cat to a jellyfish
but Arthur's head is right where it needs to be
he is seeing what he is meant to see
let him ride it out
when he gets to hell
he'll know what to do
meantime the goat he rides
is walking the razor's edge
to hell he knows the path
it is a derke road and a salvage
some critics have called Arthur's mount
'a hoofed quadruped (possibly a horse)'
or else 'a donkey or an ass'
but you don't have to guess, there is no doubt
what Arthur rides to hell
in the top of a tree
on the Cathedral floor of Otranto:
it is an Ur-goat out of space and time
for hym liste ride so
