From Wellington and Waterloo - Added Verses / Chorus

Thanks to your comments and recommendations i have added some Verses and a Chorus.
I hope the Strumming pattern helps to find the Style i have in mind. Play it sloppy and a lil bit faster on Guitar.
Is it clear for the reader, who i mean in Verse 4 and 6? Both times Napoleon is meant, but i could not work his name into the lines. Or do i overthink here and it does not matter that much?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day !!!
Verse: I – V – vi – IV

[Verse 1]
I can not read or write so well,
But what I can, I can tell,
A Story and a Joke or two,
From Wellington and Waterloo
[Verse 2]
The Story goes, just like this,
Napoleon got a Kiss,
From Helena, the Saint, the Mother,
Her Lips taste, like no other
[Chorus]
Wellington, the only man,
Who could deal, with Napoleon
Formidable, he was a knight
Not once but twice, he won the fight
[Verse 3]
At 11 hundred, the Battle began,
To weaken Wellington, that was his plan
The slaughter went on, for hours on end
Which of his Troops, he`s gonna send?
[Verse 4]
In deep desperation, he storms the front
Just to pull back, this crazy stunt
The Moment of truth, he puts them in
Best of the best, his finest men
[Chorus]
Wellington, the only man,
Who could deal, with Napoleon
Formidable, he was a knight
Not once but twice, he won the fight
[Verse 5]
The Battle was lost, the Show was over,
There was no Ship, back to Dover
100 Days, well that`s enough,
Wellington got sick of it and called the bluff
[Verse 6]
Many say and I believe,
In Exile, he groomed his grief
The loss of course, he blamed on others
Many have died, sons and fathers.
[Chorus]
Wellington, the only man,
Who could deal, with Napoleon
Formidable, he was a knight
Not once but twice, he won the fight
[Outro]
I will it say, cause this is true
War itself, it`s just pooh
Let this be a lore to you
The Story from Wellington and Waterloo

Very cool lyrics about historical happenings in Europe @derryk4real! How many beats per minute do you use for the tempo?
I think my favorite lines are in verse 6:
Many say and I believe,
In Exile, he groomed his grief
The loss of course, he blamed on others
Many have died, sons and fathers.
'groomed his grief' is clever and unique. Nice work! 😀
Cheers,
Joseph
