The One-Finger Salute has a History

French and English fought to Win,
Here’s my Slant to Share a Grin.
In the Year of Fourteen Plus,
Useful gift For all of Us.

French thought They would Beat the Brits,
Their Plan before calling Quits,
Middle Finger – Not a Toe,
Cut it Off – Can’t use Bow.

Sometime things Don’t go as Planned,
English still had Five on Hand,
Waved that Middle – Sure was Sweet,
At the French in their Defeat.

Who says History don’t have Worth,
Traditions Born upon our Earth,
Now my Gesture has its Roots,
Arthritic Finger still Salutes.

Humble – I won’t Steal the Show,
Total Story – Now Below:
