14. Entry from Sarah-Helen Snow
A Valentine’s poetry competition for lovers of history
An Ode to Boudica
I wanted to pen a sweet rhyme
To a great heroine of mine.
Her daring was great,
Violent death was her fate.
But, oh, how amazing was Boudica!
The problem I have is her name.
It’s hard finding sounds of the same.
I’ve searched high and low,
Still, I do not know
What on earth rhymes with my darling Boudica.
She scared off a whole Roman legion.
To protect kith and kin in her region.
She fought for her tribe,
That’s our kind of vibe,
That wonderful woman, who’s BOUDICA.

You could try arnica or paprika. Both are quite dominant but may be too spicy.
Fabulous! I nearly chose Boudica but glad I didn't now as I couldn't compete
