In Bosworth field the roses grow...but where
Is this field? The historians dispute
It's south of Market Bosworth, Leicestershire
But exactly where, history is mute
You'd think there'd be some relics buried there
The usual plate armour, pieces of bone
Use metal detectors and other gear
To find the spot that Shakespeare made his own
'My kingdom for a horse' the royal moan
From Richard of Gloucester, the usurper
The two young princes murdered by this brute
So Henry Tudor's spin doctors have shown
Though we can't be certain, it may be fair
He was removed - the last Plantagenet
