May 30th Today In History
1431
Joan of Arc was burned today
You know what they had to say
She’s blasphemous – there’s trickery
A sorceress – it’s witchery
A public burning sets the scene
Poor Joan was only aged nineteen
1536
On this day its wedding bliss
As Henry 8 took his third Ms
Jane Seymour married Henry 8
Eleven days past Ann B.’s fate
She died of childbirth in her bed
Would Henry have let her keep her head?
1908
Bugs’s voice and Porky Pig
Tweety Bird and can you dig
Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck
Woody, Wile E. and his luck
So many voices and who’s to thank
Happy Birthday to Mel Blanc
Mdailey 5/30/11
