I thouroughly enjoyed your poet, it has a good pace to it and covered a lot of history. This poem is very well written with good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Witty, amusing and written with a refreshing pace and rhyme scheme. Although I fear for your life, there will be severe reprisals I should think! Thanks for sharing.

Hilarious! And that is why women are the stronger ...be afraid...be very afraid... and do what your wife says!!!:)):) Loved the Marie Antoinette stanzas great rhyme with celebrated/decapitated. A very entertaining read with a strong vein of truth running through. xmouse

Thanks. Mouse.

What can I say, except that this is great. I read it with a smile on my lips. Lots of history, though maybe a little twisted but, all in all, a job well done!

Hello poet,
This poem is a real hoot! I laughed multiple
times as I read your crafty, creative well written
poem. This was a most enjoyable read, and I'll
forgive you for the occasional 'poetic license,"
though I do believe it was an asp, and not a viper,
that did Cleo in.
Very well done and thanks for sharing.

If only it had been an asper - then it would have fitted my metre!
Comment from misscookie
I love this poem
And it's perfect for your poem but, one would think a man does not have a mind of their own.no matter what happens it's always blame on the woman. It must be a man thing because my husband use to say after watching a movies. It was going good until a woman got into the picture.

Actually I am planning to do more 'Brief Histories' when I have the time e.g. History of Britain, Famous death scenes, even History of English Literature... Thanks for the review
Comment from teacherdub
Well, I am not offended, but I am laughing quite a bit right now. Your quatrains rain on the parade a little, but I think they are well penned. Your use of figurative language, i.e. alliteration, really heightens the readers enjoyment. History needs to be looked at with fresh perspective at times, I believe. Great job.
May I suggest one couplet might need revisiting just to improve the flow not the context: (syllable balance)
With ass's jawbone as a sword,
He slaughtered Philistines by the horde.
{With the jawbone of an ass used as a sword,
He slaughtered Philistines by the horde.}

Thanks for the review - more hysterical historical lessons on the way!

Just to say I may borrow your words for a title - I am thinking of a series and "Hysterical Historicals" sounds good to me. What say you?

Go right ahead - sounds like a great series. Nancy
