Long-stitch embroidery unrolled
King Harold’s stitched-up death is told
1066 is long ago
But Hastings changed the world we know.
French became the Saxons’ tongue
‘Twas, indeed, adroitly done;
William-the-Bastard seized the throne
And all things French became well known…
We bear the consequences still!
But BREXIT was a bitter pill
We swallowed - due to flagrant hype;
Can Bayeux’s artwork make things right?
Across the channel Macron comes…
He meets King Charles; are they now chums?
Museum visit – moments shared;
New Entente Cordiale declared?
Fly-in-the-ointment: Number Ten
In the shadow of Big Ben
Larry-the-Cat keeps well away
Unimpressed by this display!
