The best ever military commander
Was a young king named Alexander.
From the Macadonian city state
He was known as Alexander the Great.
A brave man - he had a lot of bottle;
A wise man too - taught by Aristotle.
He fought many battles & always won,
His army never lost a single one.
Turkey, Syria and Egypt all fell,
So did Babylon, and Persia as well.
But after 13 years of war, his men
Said they wanted to go home again.
That was the end of conquest & glory
And that's the end of Alexander's story

Said they wanted to go home again.
That was the end of conquest & glory
And that's the end of Alexander's story
Thinking of arts.
