KIND OF SAD THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH THING! (a work in progres)

Kind of sad the English and French dont get on
though only separated by a very few miles , km's
of sea
they just don't get on at all , Duke William of Normandy
laid claimed to the crown of England
the English king , said ' nope ' , 'it's mine!' , 'so get stuffed!'
' you frog eata!' , William The Barsted , has his own nicknamed , him
well , William , of viking origin , a long , long , story!

Well , he and Harold , argued , had right argy-bargys , across the Chanel
it was not going to end well!
well , William , old Bill, decided , only way was to give Harold , a seeing to
do battle
so old William , gathered his ships , loded them up with men and horses
set sail , for England , to invade , and claim the English crown , for his own!
he and his lot , landed , near Hastings , did battle , against the English-Saxons.
Harold got one in the eye , an arrow , so legend has it
William won the day!

1066 , and all that!

ever since , the English and the French , have not got on!
The English and the French , over the centuries , had far to many wars , famous battles , well known
one war lasted a hundred years! One lasted a mear thirty , years , thats with out
the wars with , Napoleon!
as for the Germans , just the two wars!
England , has gone to war , with much of Europe! , at one time or other , over the years! , not something to be proud of , not me! would take for ever to tell the history!
some how , what is between , the English and the French , kind of tribal!
The French have won more , come top , over all , in records of wars and battles , a little Mademoiselle , her name , Joan , kick the English arce's , right back to Dover!

An amusingly conversational history lesson. Nice work, Ken.

History can be mysterious, puzzling, but always truthful. It's for us to learn from it, for we are making history every day. I like how you write about it. We must never forget the lessons taught by other's hard won and lost battles.
