Poor Marshall Ney

Poor Marshall Ney

Could not keep Wellington at bay

As he defended Gaul

Napoleon fussed and fumed

Spain, Portugal he presumed

As Ney lost it all

To Wellington and his command

Who used a better battle plan

Employing deceit and deception

Confusing Ney

Ruining his day

Distorting his perception

And at St. Lo

Ney knew how to go

Wellington won there too

So Napoleon relieved him of command

Devising his own battle plan

And lost at Waterloo.
