Ode to Meridian Silliness

Several people have asked about the limerick I wrote for the Rapier Poetry Tourney at Coronation. First, the back story. I wasn't really planning on fighting in the tourney, since I was in charge of running it. However, with the unexpectedly low turnout, I didn't have much choice. Part of entering it was to have a poem about Meridies. Had I the time, I would have composed a moving and elaborate Epic to show off my literary prowess. Sadly, I had less than five minutes. Here is the result of my speedy composition:

"In Meridies there lived a young Squire,
Who was a notorious liar,
But one day a lance,
Ripped open his pants,
And displayed a small truth to his Shire!"
