He was bald as a coot
so he sported a wig
which came from the loot
of a Spanish brig
whose captain was rude
and hailed from Granada.
One can only conclude
it was part of the Armada
that sank off the coast.
It was such a feat
that we must drink a toast
to Her Majesty’s fleet.

Shar :) Very very nice! Is this historic or what? Love the rhyme.

Glad you like this, chickenrun and welcome to the site. In answer to your question, it is a humorous piece with vague references to an historic event.
