Royal Marriage Guidance

Divorce? Eighth Henry did it twice
He wasn't pleased with either wife
"I liked her not" cut too much ice
(At least Anne/2 could keep her life)

Cathy/1 - a technicality
(Blamed a fit of illegal gallantry)
Anne/1 had lovers, far too many
(Though she claimed she hadn't any...)

Post wedding 3, Hal lost sweet Jane
And so he had to wed again -
Anne/2 - o'er flattered by the paint
(That was Henry's mean complaint)

Cathy/2 was a naughty girl
With other men in bed did whirl
While Cathy/3 had common sense
Firm discipline she did dispense...

"Stop, please stop!" Hal/8 did scream -
"Stop it with the revolving queens!
One by one they're out the door -
Death preserve me marrying more."

And mercifully, soon death did -
So Cathy/3 got to keep her lid...
