"rowboat"

"rowboat"

A Story by Randall

If I were an Englishman... disguised as a Frenchman... and had a rowboat. 
I would invade England..., plunder her chalky cliffs of dover.
I would then corner the market on chalk for school blackboards. 
Foolish you say! 
I heard that blackboards are making a comeback. 
I would take rowboat after rowboat of chalk from Dover's cliffs across the channel to France. 
You'll see..., I'll corner the chalk market.
Soon I would have enough of England on the shores of France. Enough English land on France to plant a Union Jack to claim a piece of France as England's own.
However..., the cornering of the chalk market wasn't that far off. 
I did hear... that Blackboards are making a comeback! 
Some of you are saying he must be rowing that boat with one oar in the water..., maybe true!
But My Grandfather James Philipe Lafferty would claim that was the plan all along..., made by his little Irishman. 
A plan to get back Calais lost in the hundred-year war. 
After all, Sovereign land is Sovereign land..., no matter how it gets there.

Author's Note

Randall
A little daydreaming of the past and a path to correct it!
Nothing too serious, though. :)))
