Fortune's Knave

The dangerous cougar jumped off the rock Great plumes of smoke came out of its ears Courtyard animals ran away in fear Smouldered in a fire the coals screamed In agony they burned The cougar ate the burning coals Heat and fury radiated from the cougar's jaws Of many moons the mighty monster dreamed Day dawned red as the cougar died

It is indeed. The first word of each line is taken from the first sentence of a historical novel about William the Conquerer called 'Fortune's Knave'.

I actually quite like about 25% of this poem ;)
