The Battle Of Twickenham.

Goldfinch60



The battle started once more,

Over so many years they came,

That time back in Hastings

In ten sixty-six they first came

And won the battle.

Throughout time they have come,

The French have come,

Our enemies forever.

But they came once more,

They came and tried again

But this time it was different,

As at the end of the Battle,

The Battle of Twickenham,

The English defeated them,

Defeated those damn Frenchies

By winning the match,

Winning the Rugby match,

Beating them in the last minute

Giving England a marvellous win.

    Good write Gold. Yes, I'm to blame for the French victory in 1066. If only I hadn't turned up! lol.

    • Michael Edwards

      It wasn't yopur fault - if I recall the hot dog stall got in the way of the archers but their arrows proved a big ''hit'' with the sugar candy vendors as they'd run out of sticks.

      • orchidee

        Yes lol.

        • Goldfinch60

                  History can be a good laugh - if you give it the right amount of irony - well manufactured, Sir.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    So true, most kind Dave, thank you.

                    Yes, and your point ably made, yet I can't help still lamenting my stupidity in failing to choose that romantic language when forced to pick a second language in highschool. Excellently rendered with delightful good humour, lovely imagery, and an irresistible winsomeness. Thank you for sharing.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you for your comments Missy, much appreciated.

                            Times change, adversaries sometimes remain so. Good work.
