              You have to feel for Anne Boleyn
              poor lady lost her head.
              It seems to me her only crime
              was getting blooming wed.
              And then of course the big mistake
              that sent her husband wild.
              She had the audacity
              to bear a female child.
              And that it seems was all it took
              for Henry to see red.
              And so they parted company…
              as Anne did with her head.
