MS One Three Three

It's s'posed to be one thirty three
but they spell it with an I
The earlist fencing system
we have, but tell me why
are the monks crouched down like pussies
and why on tippy toes
and why does the fucking buckler go
wherever the sword goes?
It a deeply silly system
that doesn't really work
yet noone wants to be the first
to say, "What fucking jerk
invented this weird crock of shit
and taught it to the clergy?"
This cranky system's a disgrace
to swords and.. metallurgy.
So generations yet to come
will study this MS
then prance in masks and gorgets and
pretend it's not a mess.
It's clear to me, why can't they see
a knight from the Crusades
returned and joined a monastery
and taught them to use blades.
He said he'd show the brothers there
to defend themselves from witches;
but it was all a fucking joke -
he must have been in stitches!
