HENRY THE EIGHTH

HENRY THE EIGHTH
Henry the eighth Backed the Protestant faith. The reason, of course, Was to get a divorce King Henry, well known for beheading And in between frequently bedding Broke away from the Pope Just to further his hope Of divorce and later re-wedding He didn’t have very much patience with wives, Half of whom ended up losing their lives. Two were divorced and one of them died, Two were beheaded, but Catherine survived.

This is EXCELLENT work with great meter in the limerick. I always hated this guy. Still remember Herman's Hermits singing about him. Congrats
