You're invited if.......

orchidee



Yep, it's that time of year again - 

You're all invited - sort of!

 

It depends if you were there in person

If you were, come along

To the Annual 1066 Hastings Reunion

Not to non-UK poets: It was a Battle held in 1066 in the UK

On October 14th.

 

Now it's not so far-fetched...

I'm sure some of you are over 950 years old now

I certainly am!

Fido my watchdog is too - he's very old

But he don't want any 'swoony' poems appearing

While he's away! (heehee)

 

It was all my fault, you know

The Battle may have turned out differently

If I had not appeared and uttered

Those fateful words to Harold at that vital moment:

'Look up, Sire' - and he did

He never saw the arrow - nor did I....

And all the rest is history!

 

Yep, pack your bags ready

See ya there, I hope!

You'll need your Birth Certificate

Or you won't get in

That's the only condition - 

You have to have been there in person in 1066

For this annual nuttiness! lol.

          Orchi was my servant at the time and I told him not to say anything to the king, but would he listen, of course he wouldn't.

          • Thoughts In Time

            Lol...do we ever do what we meant to do...at first??

          • Michael Edwards

            I'll be there - I'm going with Sally Conquest - Norman's brother.

                I'm coming and I'm bringing William Tell with me. He is about 250 years younger, but one hell of a shooter!

              • Goldfinch60

                I am already there waiting in the pub for you or are you frightened that they may not have any water for you put in my drinks.

                I'll go down to the beach on 14th and see if there are any more Normans coming over, I hope not as Я їх не розумію, as you know I am bilingual speaking both English and Rubbish.
