Well, I'm part of that 51% that should be offended, but I loved this very entertaining piece. And yes, it's okay to have used your poetic license; we all do. I really like this fantastic poem...katz meow

Hello kiwisteveh...
I think this is totally funny and am not bothered at all. However I would challenge you to write of the unfortunate wives of Henry 8, The misfortunes of the three Marys of Scotland and the one that came after, not to mention those women today who seem to require stoning...
As yes...betrayal is a multilateral thingie.
Well done...a pleasure to read.
Fondly, Rebecca

    Thanks so much for that - yes, I will redress the balance one day. Thinking of a series - preliminary title 'Hysterical Historicals"...

I wish I had six stars to give you. This poem is long, but well worth the read. I enjoyed the ride through history. It is quite ingenious of you to think of this and then be able to create the poem. Great job.

    Thanks, Patti. You are the fifth person to drop the 'wish I had 6 stars' on me - I guess I posted at the wrong time of the week!
    Never mind - there is more to come.

    We should be given more sixes to give people. There are so many great writers on this site. I get mostly five - I'm absolutely thrilled when I get a rare "six."

So very clever, so full of historical references, so delightful to read your comparison of those famous and infamous couple in time.

I got the biggest chuckle when I came to the end of your wrote. It's just a tale and the point of view from a guy, but I would still sleep with one eye opened. A great read my friend.

    Yes. I've been watching my back - I know she says it's all a bit of a chuckle, but there's a steely glint in her eye.
    Thanks for the review.

Well, I am laughing my a@* off! This is a cleverly written poem. A bit of fact mixed with fantasy! I enjoyed reading this "different" kind of poem. Thanks! Cletus Hardiman ( Clete )

    You believe in living dangerously, don't you.....Are you anything like Croc. Dundee???? LOL Clete

    Plenty of crocodiles around here - as for wrestling them - think I'll leave that to the experts - My reptile removing skills extend as far as the ever presnt geckos and frogs (yes I know a frog is not a reptile!)
reply by Cletus Hardiman on 26-Mar-2011
    You and I both....No crocs for me! Now, the little gecko...who would want to kill it! LOL Clete

I thought this was an amusing piece of historical write that would have mde history class so lively and interesting. It's a gret poem which nicely describes the events that women play the major roles. i like the last stanza too. The poem is clever and full of wit.

Wow this was fantastic. You went from the Bible to Homer and Shakespeare to real life Kind and Queens. It was a quick way to introduce young kids to a little bit of history just in a poem. I loved the rhyme. The rhyming was wonderful not forced at all. Great writing.

I got a chuckle out of your little rant ... and I was not the least offended.

It is a known fact that women can survive without men, but men can not survive without women.

So, in the end, we get the last laugh ...and all of those Viagra adds just add fuel to the truth of this. LOL

    And I get a chuckle out of all the women who have written to say 'no, I'm not offended, and anyway.....'

I loved the history lesson. The rhyming was very clever. This tongue in cheek review of the ages couldn't have had a more fitting end!
