The poem I was Henry VIIIThe king of EnglandI’d followed my faithFrom the palace I ruled my landWith six ladies by my sideI had been well surrounded until I died Catherine of Aragon was my nameMarried to this man for the longest timeAt 24 years old he just cameGot me preggy just before spring timeOf my four children, one survivedI’m humble and loyal but not fertileImma be divorced

I was Anne Boleyn the king’s second wifeI was a self driven and strong womanAlthough I’d been quite a good house-wifeJudges started pointing their pensTowards my neck mole, looking at my ‘’six fingers”And “Off with the witches head” they had yelled Imma be beheaded Jane Seymour was my nameI’d given birth to Henry’s first sonBut I’ll tell you what was lameMy dear son caused my death, not that funHenry told me that providence had mingled his joyWith the bitterness of my death who brought him his boy Imma be dead

I was Anne of Cleves the king’s fourth wifeHenry fell in love with a painting of meAsked my hand, totally said yes, for my whole lifeThough I was only half his age, hi hiBut then we had met, he had taken a good look at my faceAnd 6 months later got rid of me, bad memory phase Imma be divorced Kathryn Howard was my nameWe’d gotten married 16 days after his divorceI was only 19 what a shameAnd since then, the court hated me, of courseThey convinced my love that I’d cheatedAnd I was to be beheaded… Imma be beheaded

I was Katherine Parr the king’s last wifeI was known for my “unusual” intelligenceI did not love the King, I was about to be Seymour’s wifeWe had been married for 4 long years thanks to my benevolenceAnd FINALLY Henry diedOh, I am so so sad... Imma be widowed I was Henry VIIIThe king of EnglandI’d follow my faithFrom the palace I ruled my landWith six ladies by my sideI had been well surrounded until I died.
