Nine Hundred And Fifty Five Years Ago.

I rode up to the Inn,

Put my horse in the barn

Then went inside

And ordered my glass of mead.

As I looked round I saw him,

Orchi was sitting there

With Fido at his side.

He saw me and picked up a jug,

A jug of water,

He came across and started to pour,

Pour the water into my mead.

I managed to stop him

By tipping the water over him,

Fido barked

As though I had sworn.

The door swung open

And in came King Harold.

I knelt before him

And said “Welcome Sire”

“Arise Sir Andy, let us speak”.

Then he saw Orchi

“WHAT’S HE DOING HERE?”

The king shouted,

“I’ve no idea

He was here already

But I’ll try and get him to go away.

The King and I chatted

As we prepared for the battle.

We went to the beach,

And I told Orchi to stay in his room,

I locked him in!

 

Those Normans arrived

And the Battle of Hastings started.

All was going well when suddenly,

Suddenly disaster struck,

Orchi had escaped!

And was walking down the beach,

Fido at his side.

As he got close he looked up

And pointed,

“Look Sire” he said,

“What is that?

The King looked up

And because of Orchi

History was changed,

And the Normans took over,

Took over the rule of the Saxons,

All because of Orchi

Pointing in the air.
