1066

The Normans came and conquered They landed in the night I think we could have beaten them Till Harold lost his sight! The Normans came and conquered Their country wanted more They gave us all a thrashing And left us feeling sore! The Normans came and conquered We Saxons ran to Wales In the hills we stayed and hid Until they set their sails! The Normans came and conquered Just like the Romans did before But in good time we grew quite bold And showed them all the door!

Hello Roger, Great poem. Really liked how the poem flowed. Excellent rhyme scheme. One point however. I am descended from the Celts. I believe the Romans conquered us:) Really enjoyed it. Thanks Oliver

A very cool poem on the history of the United Kingdom. In millennia past, it was invaded many times. Today, the country stands on its own because you boldly "showed them all the door!" Historical writes are some of my favorites and you did a great job recounting these time periods. Love, Carolyn
