BEFORE THE EURO

  

BEFORE THE EURO 

Peter Woodgate 

Uncivilised disorganised

And classed as somewhat barmy

Those Brits would be an easy task

For the mighty Roman army.

 

And so the legions marched along

The road’s they built with care

They walked up to the entrance

Of the Heathen’s rugged lair.

 

But here they met with fury

And a passion to be free

Those Roman hordes were driven back

Until they reached the sea.

 

It seems they could not conquer

This plucky English Lady

The tricks she used to win each fight

We’re classed as somewhat shady.

 

And so to mainland Europe

The mighty hordes returned

Their offer of a detached Rome

Had certainly been spurned.

 

Boudicca had shown them all

Brought an empire to it’s knees

Across the waves these words were heard

“And stick your bloody Sesterces”
