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
