Nine hundred and fifty four years ago,
On this very day ,
There we were, Orchi and I,
Sitting on Hastings beach,
Minding our own business,
Just eating some pork pies.
Me drinking my whisky,
WITHOUT WATER!
Orchi drinking his sherry.
I was trying to explain to Orchi
The meaning of
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia,
While He was trying to say
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
We looked out to sea,
There approaching were these boats
Loaded with men,
All had swords and spears,
And one had a bow and arrow.
Behind us horses were galloping,
They came to us on the beach.
Harold was there,
He asked if he could have a pie,
Orchi declined,
Saying “Pigs will fly
Before I release a pie!”
He pointed into the sky
And said to Harold,
“See that flying pig!”
I had always told Orchi
That pointing was rude,
And in this case,
It was dangerous!
As Harold fell from his horse
An arrow in his eye.
And that was the day
That Orchi said to me
“Give me a scotch, without water!”
Out of the kindness of my heart
I gave Orchi a SMALL scotch.
He fell to the ground
Shouting “Alas poor Yorick
I knew him well, fill up the walls
With your English dead Romeo”
From that day Orchi and context
Have never been the same,
And water always goes in his scotch.
This poem was on a previous site that Orchi and I used to inhabit before it closed down and we found MPS.

- Comment from author about the poem: As some of you may know Orchi and I have known each other for a very long time, we used to walk our dinosaurs along the beach when we were in our youth so have seen many things in our lives. This was one of the regretful times when Orchi asked King Harold to look up.

It's that day of madness again!
Note to other poets: It's all true you know! heehee.
You other poets can join us. The only condition is that you must have been around in 1066 also. lol.
We must now wait until June 15th for your next debacle telling why the signing of Magna Carta was a year late.
I think we was both there too at Traflgar in 1805 (Oct 21st). Was it our fault Nelson lost an eye and/or arm?
I was at The Battle of Reading in 871AD - me home town. So the 1,150th anniversary of it next year (Jan 4th).
History re-writ ..
and I thought it was one of Orchidee's delusions ...
Oh no, we were there and I have tried to stop him from singing ever since - and before.
