Og. Carpe el Diem

Og, citizen of Britannica, joined the Legion

And was sent to the very far north of the region

They made him a lookout on Hadrian’s wall

Not knowing he couldn’t see much at all

One misty morning Og rubbed his eyes

And there before him, to his surprise

Were Jocks, who, to Og’s humiliation

Were to the south of the fortification

They raided the fort, made off with their plunder

Would Og be sacked for this terrible blunder?

No…his bosses had a far better scheme

Og became cleaner in the barracks latrine

How can we be sure of the scientific accuracy of the above?

During a recent dig in Birdoswald Fort archaeologists discovered some extremely sophisticated touchingly poetic graffiti scratched into the bricks in the latrine:

My name is Og

And I clean this bog
