WEEP, FAIR SCOTLAND FOR THY KING IS DEAD

Robert the Bruce
Did he hold truce?
Or did he lie?

He sat on that
Stone of Scone
Like a medieval
Al Capone
And plotted against
The English throne.
His big mistake
Alas, was snickering
At Long-Shanks' passion
For puce stockings...

Now Eddie
Was a bit of a shit,
Who could not
Countenance
The mocking
At his lovely
Violet stockings,
Or his cod-piece
Neither,
So he sent
His army hither
And we all know
How THAT
Worked out!

It is my view
That without a doubt
Hosiery was to blame
For the disgrace
And ill-fame
Of Robert the Bruce,
Otherwise known
As the wooss
Who lost
Fair Scotland
To lame Eddie
Long-shanks.

(Look if Mel Gibson
took poetic liberties?
Then so can I!)
