In 1814 Napoleon lost
The fight against the Russians and Prussians
Since Moscow he'd been forced back at great cost
Of land and men, now left with untrained sons
To fight for him, but the Parisians
Saw their own proud town ground down, enemy
Troops entering, and the Emperor gone
In exile to Elba. Arthur Wellesley
(Wellington) took Toulouse. Meanwhile, GB
Was also at war with the States across
The ocean, setting fire to Washington
DC this year, defending valiantly
The invasion of Canada, but lost
A fight next January in New Orleans
