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.

Andy
What? No singing from Orchi? 😜
I put a chainmail gauntlet in his mouth and he only managed to get it out in time to tell Harold to look up! LOL
Andy
So Orchi is in the history books. Amazing. 😊
Well written but not sure what’s going on here. Maybe because I’m on the other side o the pond.
It is a long running joke between Orchi and I, in 1066 there was a Battle on the south coast of England know as 'The Battle of Hastings where the Normans (from France) defeated the Saxon King of England, Harold, and King William then became the King of England.

Oh lol, good write Gold.
John doesn't know - maybe thinks it's us eccentric English.
I posted a poem early today. Well, I had to leave in time to get to Hastings! lol.
What a great time I had in Hasting yesterday, were you late as there was not water put in my Mead.
Andy
