'enry the Viiith

'Enry the VIIITH tried in vain to begat a son.

     Despite 'is six marriages 'e 'ad nary a one.

          To each of 'is wives 'e was not very nice

               'E'd just as soon decapitate 'em in a trice!

I can just hear Tommy Noonan with his group "Herman's Hermits" singing that corny song which was a big hit for them. He had six wives, but only two were beheaded. 'Enery got lucky with wife number three (Jane Seymour) who was the mother of the future King Edward VI. Right now, the Pats are Sitting Bull and the Broncos are Custer. Sorry to hear about that Bob.
