Henry V111

Henry V111

Henry the eighth..
he could not wait,
had it all ,
on a golden plate.
Divorced Kate first
wife of brother Arthur,
beheaded Ann Bolynn
for ambitious palarvour,
lost his lovely Jane.
his two week Queen..
couldn't find another, till
Ann of Cleaves,
his 'Flanders Mare'..
divorced and put out to grass..
in settlement elsewhere,
beheaded  Katy Howard,
just nineteen year young..
survived by Cathy Par..
the quiet one..
Oh Henry..did you find
your love..
They saw it was Sweet Jane,
who held your heart,
for such a short time.
Heavy is the head,
that wears the crown..
states The Bard..
I hope you.found some joy
in you life full of deaths
and religious ploy..
Maybe each Queen taught you
something of Earthly life..
You can search for love,
You can make love your wife..
But you cannot keep it
prisoner..
it is was it is
