lift of a surprised eyebrow or perhaps from a razor blade

rumors of fresh reserves memories of high treason

Still set to scratch a laughter from my lung,
I would not fear the apple nor the flood
Nor the bad blood of spring.

Shall it be male or female? say the cells,

Them both till they reckoned they'd fight. 

So Will got his army together
And planned an invasion of France,
But HaI chanced to find out what Will had in mind
And sent Robert a line in advance.

Instead of t'surprise that were meant,
He was met on the shore by Duke Bob and his Normans.Read more of this...
