The King is speaking! - Poem about King Henry VIII


 The King is speaking!

My name is Henry, the eigth, the strongest of all.
Got my throne and my wife after my brother.
I am the king of England so hail me now!
How dare you to say my marriage is an error?!

I really loved Catherine, the Princess Of Aragon
We’ve been married for more than thirty years.
She was damned, not me, by my brother.
She couldn't give me a son, I got bothered.

A witch, I found love in.
Everyone knew Anne Boleyn.
I don't even hide my pleasure.
I wanted to divorce Catherine.

Church talked before me,
Told that I couldn't divorce her.
I said I am the king, I can do as I wish.
I destroyed the Church of England.

After I got married with Boleyn,
I waited for her to get pregnant again.
First child of her was a disaster.
She just gave birth to my first child, Mary’s, sister.

No son still, she was also without a fruit.
I heard some news, I was outraged, annoyed!
She was having intercourses with different men!
I wanted that witch dead,
I wished the see her without a head!

After her, someone shined like the Sun!
Jane Seymour came into my life.
I gave her everything when she gave birth
To my beloved, alive, only son.

She died, not because of me I swear!
She died because of the things I don't care.
Who cares? My son, Edward, is alive!
Witches come, witches go all the time.

After her death, I found a new love.
Anne of Cleves, a German beauty.
I had her quite sometime but she wasn’t mine,
She affianced with some other human being.

I couldn't be bothered to execute her.
I divorced her after six months.
Soon after I found a new love.
Catherine, darling, be at my bed at once.

Everyone said, she was too young.
She was 16 I am only 49.
She wasn’t too young to be my wife.
To commit adultery, she was old enough.

Well, I guess cousins shared the same end.
I made sure she was beheaded.
Why should I think that it was my fault?
I am a young man with a body gifted by God.

I cannot see my way through Catherines.
My next and last wife was another Catherine.
I really loved her, wait, was not she beheaded?
Oh right, she lived long enough to see me dying.
