1066 and All That
1066 and all that by
Robert (Bob) Moore © 2015
King Harold and his army, marched all through the night
William the Bastard, was looking for a fight
He had landed close to Hastings, with at least 10000 men
He thought he was, King of England, so let him prove it then
The Battle fought at Stamford Bridge, had left Harolds army drained
but they had to march to Hastings, William had to be contained
The English formed up on a hill, and the arrows began their flight
One hit Harold in the eye, I think it was the right.
There’s been a few invaders, who have tried us on since then
but none have been successful, since that dark day when
William won the battle, but he didn’t win the war
The English still speak English, and will for ever more
