Exceptional A humorous sonnet Bad timing by JLR Sonnet Humor contest entry

I have to put on chain mail for the clash. But it is heavy, clunky, and too tight. I struggle with the buckles and the sash. I wish I had a suit that was more light. At last, I put it on and grab my lance. But then I realize I have to pee. I curse my luck and do a little dance. I wonder if I can just let it be. I mount my horse and face my enemy. He looks so fierce and confident and strong. I try to act brave, but I want to flee. I hope this tough ordeal won't last for long! The trumpet sounds, and we begin to charge But then my chain mail falls off; it's too large!
