Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Boudica

Boudica, Iceni tribe queen

In ancient Britain led attack

Against the Romans, she was keen

On getting independence back.

In rebellion her troops she led

Against the invading empire,

Left 80,000 Romans dead,

Destroyed their battlements with fire.

Emperor Nero in Rome heard

Of Boudica's fighting success,

And fretted so that such occurred,

Generals threatened to fix this mess.

Mass Roman armies sent to war,

Boudica killed, rebelled no more.
