The Napoleonic Sonnet MAG
July 28, 2021
At school I study reign of Bonaparte
With a whiff of cannonball and grapeshot
The Frenchmen in the crowd got blown apart
Napoleon, a friend? I doth think not.
When France sneezed, Europe got a load of snot
To be or not to be free was question
A strong leader whose heart was full of rot
In history, he always earns mention
He dominated Europe’s way of life
Europe’s first common enemy was he
He set the course for century of strife
He never knew when to just let it be
History bears this man’s mark to this day
His vision defines the world, come what may.

I love to study history, and I am often saddened when people don't enjoy my niche history puns. I hope this Napoleon Sonnet makes you laugh, especially if you are a fellow history nerd!
