    poem-sir nicketty nox (poet-Hugh Chesterman)

    Sir Nicketty Nox was an ancient knight,
    So old he was that he lost his sight.
    Blind as a mole,and slim as a fox,
    And dry as a stick was Sir Nicketty Nox.

    His sword and buckler were old and cracked,
    So was his charger and that's the fact.
    Thin as a rake from head from head to hocks,
    Was this rickety nag was Sir Nicketty Nox.

    A wife he had and daughters three,
    And were old, as old could be.
    They mended the shirts and darned the socks,
    Of that old Antiquity,Nicketty Nox.
     
    Sir Nicketty Nox would fly in a rage,
    If someone tries to guess his age.
    He'd mouth and mutter and tear his locks,
    This very pernickety Nicketty Nox.

    please check the summary with the poem

    Dear Student,

    The summary you have written is good and easy to understand. However, we are providing you with another summary which you can relate.

    Sir Nickety Nox was an old knight, who bravely fought for his country. He became old and his eyesight was lost. The structure of his body was thin enough to call him a fox. His weapons were also as old as him. His wife and three daughters were although old but repaired his shirts and socks. However, he got frustrated and furious when anybody tried to guess his age. He was meticulous and demanding in nature.

    Regards
