Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary
was a queen - and scary;
She just loved sending folks to the tower
but she still always managed to look damn sour.

For Andrea’s clerihew contest

I wonder why she always look so sour, ha ha! This is a very awesome write my friend! This entry will do very well in Andrea's contest! What a glorious idea you had for a person, very clever! Do you know much about Bloody Mary? I know very little, just that she was pretty mean...and the drink is just as nasty! Lovely little piece Jack, Great Work!!
