NATURAL HISTORY


Viking longboat crossed the sea
on a long boat-tossed journey,
from the coast of scandiknaves,
over host of storm-tossed waves.

Fergus Forkbeard led the way,
told of future’s better day
booty grand and lasses fair
to run their fingers through red hair.

‘Twas by the mouth of Firth of Forth,
confusion reigned for men of north.
Longboat tipped its cargo out
wild waves churned men and wreck about.

Thankful Scots praised divine wrath
From precipice by Firth’s bay path.
Viking invasion was held back
until calm seas brought new attack.
