Thread: Limericks turn a blind eye

Nelson smiled as he looked down the Nile
The French ships were all moored in file
It made him decide
To go down each side
And fight two on to one for a while

As Nelson sailed to Copenhagen
Flags were brought to his attention
But with one blind eye
He could simply deny
The signal his admiral was making

Nelson walked the poop deck with Hardy
Some might have thought it foolhardy
Hardy lost a buckle
Nelson just chuckled
And said “Warm work isn’t it Hardy”

The storm that came after Trafalgar
Caused maritime language quite vulgar
But the sailors arose
Like ancient heroes
And battled all night to make anchor


What next? Oliver Cromwell? The American revolution?
I am enjoying this, even if it is not all that intellectual.

Me too, Olly! You've a knack for this, can't wait to see what you come up with next.
