Napoleon's Victories

At Austerlitz I two nations vanquished; making me historically distinguished. At Marengo I had Austria subdued; then I was to honour undoubtedly glued. At the Pyramids, Mamluks kissed the sands; then like a French Pharaoh I annexed their lands. At Jena-Auerstadt, Prussia to her knees fell, to avoid carnage, and possibly hell. At Borodino, Kutuzov my boots licked, as his Russian forces had their arses kicked. At Ligny, Blucher like a coward fled, as his smitten forces profusely bled. At Toulon I first distinguished myself for a career that would exalt oneself. Rolica, Leipzig, Waterloo like curses came, but history will forever my triumphs reclaim.
