Ode to Hubert the Fool
In good King Edward’s days there was a man called Hubert.
Wounded in King Edward’s wars.
No longer could he work.
Faced with starvation & poverty.
His future looked very grim.
But sitting there in his hovel an idea came to him.
People always liked his jokes.
His antics made them smile.
And all their everyday woes were forgotten for a while.
So Hubert became a Fool, or Jester if you please!
At first people laughed at him.
Some scornful, but most to tease.
But crowd came from miles around.
To see this funny man and Hubert became famous.
The Legend had begun!
