Armed and aware
He was called to give battle
Arthur his king was tasked
With defending against an attack
Of giants and dragons and men
Gawain was sent to gather a force
Armed with weapons to fight
He determined the best action
In the face of such threat
Was to charge headlong into the fray
The raw courage needed
For a single knight and untrained militia
To defend against invasion
By hostile tact, foolish perhaps
Headstrong most certainly
And he himself killed most of the foe
Rash but lived and would die bravely
