ode to Napeleon's mule

hol' that there hoss yonder, govern'r-marshal,

Napoleon, listen to the beast's a-nickerin', and let 'im rest a spell!

You are a big man, and rearing the weight of French state

upon 'im, ye did.

If he sways and loses footing, with hope you'll break a leg.

and the mule would still ferry ya across, the traitorous mountain-pass

if he crumples up in disregard of command, O that dumb half-ass.

if he dies, and brought ya along with it, down the slippery Alpine hills.

future bear'r of Law'r'ate-Crawn

hopefully rumours and humours should be banned where ye helds 'em for jurisdiction,

lest them lament, the people----that a dead donkey-wannabe had conquered the vast Europe, what it was to be,

and in loosing his footing, had crashed the future French caesar under his iron hooves,

sent 'im six feet under too, down upon 'em traitorous and slippery Alpine hills.

(on seeing Jacques-Louis David's famous painting, "Napoleon Crossing the Alps", instead of feeling critical, I was simply amused)

original ver.

hol' that 'orse over there, governor-marshal

Napoleon, listen to the beast's whinnying and let 'im rest awhile.

You are a big man, and rearing the weight of French state upon 'im.

If he sways and loses footing, with hope you'll break a leg.

and the mule would still ferry ya across, the traitorous mountain-pass

if he crumples in disregard of command, O that dumb half-ass.

if he dies, and brought ya along with it, down the slippery Alpine hills.

future bear'r of Lawr'ate-Crown

hopefully rumours should be banned where ye helds 'em jurisdiction,

lest them lament, the people----that a dead donkey-wannabe had conquered the vast Europe.

in loosing his footing, had crashed the future French caesar under his iron hooves.
