Fred Aiken Writing

Sir Cyrious the Serious was made from a very serious cloth,

he wore serious clothes and walked with a serious gait,

but what made Sir Cyrious the Serious the most serious sort

was his constant bickering of the most serious matters with a stern comport

and not a lick of irony or alcohol on his breath,

but Sir Cyrious the Serious was born of a different age,

where such matters were sacrosanct,

and nothing was seen as a joke,

but if you ever meet Sir Cyrious the Serious out in the town,

make sure to observe him with either a nod or a wink, or maybe even a stiff handshake,

but whatever you do, just make sure not to laugh, lest he chop off your hands and make a serious moment out of your levity
