Fields of Garlic- Roman Legion Contest

The 10 th legion of the Roman Empire Wondered why no matter what The other side knew they were somewhere Took them forever to figure out that They marched in silence, along the way nothing clinked not a word spoken Yet the men in armour were waiting there What magic was their token Wasn't magic you idiots of roman hue Can't you guess why all know where your at It's all the garlic you like to chew They can smell you miles away in fact. You plant fields of garlic to eat by all Medication in its infancy Great for healing the wounds you have You'd have less if you listen to me Stop chewing garlic all day long Your breath would then surely smell fresh Carry on the way you are The 10th legion will get less and less Roman soldiers ate garlic to inspire them and give them courage. Because that's what the Roman generals believed they planted fields of garlic in the countries they conquered, believing that courage was transferred to the battlefield. Penned 01/06/2014
