Peace pudding

Legend says in Napoleonic war..
a French boat floundered
on Northern shores..
at Hartlepool in the county
Of Durham, Land of
Tatty Pie and Pease Pudding,
Wi ieh it was a glorious feat,
to catch a Frenchman wrecked
on the beach,
these Geordie men,  strong not nesh,
never seen a French man's flesh,
dressed in the finest silks,
pantaloons and frilled kerchiefs..
But there was something not quite right,
this French man was tiny in height,
and talked a language un be known,
as he protested all alone..
They took him and hanged him
What the heck..till the little Frenchie
broke his neck..
But what they had not the sense
to see,
the Frenchie was a flipping monkey..

So now it's a jibe of intellect..
that Geordies might care to forget..
