Hundreds of years ago

Romans conquered the British Isles

They did by whipping nettles

On their chilblained feet to smiles.

It kept them going, it must have,

Building roads for miles and miles.

 

The roads in Londinium

Were allegedly of gilt

They only seemed to stop

When they met those men in kilts

The colder climes of Scotland

Where the roads stopped being built.

 

I'm sure toga wearing warriors

Had no problem with attire

Or Mel's scarey battle make-up

Even though it's pretty dire

They'd maybe had enough of war

By Scotland they'd got tired.

 

I only picked the bits I liked

When studying history

The facts are in there somewhere

Well hidden, obviously.

I relate best to the world

Which way it relates to me.

 

I only bring it up because

Of nettles for their feet.

My toes have an infection

Which should make me greet,

But I'll see the doc in springtime-

For now, I need the heat. (-:
