HAROLD’S LAMENT
( Subtitled: 'The History Books Got It Wrong')
In 1066 with all good grace
I bent down low to tie my lace
But that was where it went awry
A target made of my third eye
And sure enough it came to pass
An arrow bulls-eyed up my arse.

CoR! what a shot, right in the chuffer!
Dont think of it as yer downfall
ya could have copped it in the eyeball
he missed by miles
and gave u piles
and a poem thats simply ribald
Oh lol. A fun write M.
Orchi - you could have made a little bit more of an effort here, don't you think? It's 1066, man - are you going to tell us you weren't a witness? So Andy is our last resort for verification here - not, I might add, that I doubt Michael's account for one minute......
Michael: at least we now know the truth....
Yes he got it in the eye but not the one recorded in history books written years after the event.

a fun read Michael
not sure how we go about verifying
one historical 'fact'
as being more 'factual' than another
generally I assume, all information
has its accuracy decrease
with each forgotten second
Obviously, it was not a good idea to bend down to tie the lace.
