  1. Yes! I had a boy!
    I won't ever become a toy!
    But tell me, what is this pain?
    Am I going to give birth again?

    Oh, great,I'm going to die!
    At least I get to finish my pie!
    Actually,it's not as bad as I thought!
    And I never got caught!

    You may think, what could I get caught for?
    But if I tell you, won't that create more?
    Of a problem for me?
    Or will everybody just disagree?

    It doesn't matter, I don't care!
    As long as nobody messes up my hair!
    And I really love to dance!
    So this will be my last chance!

    Help me ,help me! I'm almost dead!
    I want to save my royal head!
    I know that I'm not able to!
    And now I need to go to the loo!

    That poem was about Jane Seymour, King Henry VIII third wife, who died after giving Henry the son he always wanted!

  2. Anne Boleyn had a had a think
    If she should marr Henry and leave the Catholic Church
    For Henry Church of England
    She did though , she married Henry
    She had a kid little old Elizabeth ,her born catholic
    Then Elizabeth at the age of three
    Her mum decided to go on a date with other men
    Unluckily for her Henry found out
    She put up a good push to try and get herself out of it
    But she failed and Henry didn't
    Her was cut off and she was defiantly dead!

    Anne Boleyn ,

  3. Catharine or Aragon was first.
    She failed to give him a son.
    He needed a divorce.
    So a new church
    And they got appart.

  5. My My! Who's this? It' s Catherine Parr,
    She's not deposed so far!
    With luscious eyes of ruby red,
    And her marvellous plans ahead.

  6. Jane Seymour came third,
    She gave Henry a son I heard.
    Henry loves Jane dearly,
    She is a real love bird.

    But when her son was born,
    People came to mourn.
    Jane Seymour was announced dead,
    And Henry VIII was torn.

  7. We have a new queen,
    Prettier than thee.
    She ruled for three years,
    She shed billions of tears!
    And even though she was very ambitious
    Her head went of with a chop!

  8. Anne Boleyn

    Henry divorced Catherine of Arragon,
    As she did not give him a royal heir and son.

    He decided to marry his beloved Anne Boleyn,
    And made her his second queen.

    She gave birth to a royal baby girl,
    Much to the utter horror of Henry.

    When Henry had become very bored,
    He decided to chop Anne’s head with a sword!

    The people of England jeered and cheered,
    When they heard the news that she’d disappeared.

  9. My Favourite wife

    Among all my six wives,
    Who I had given devastated lives.
    My most beloved third wife was Jane,
    She had a great reign,
    Then she got into a real pain,
    By giving me a baby boy all my love she did gain.
    Alas her poor health made her die,
    So I sorrowfully bid her goodbye
    She was the only one with whom I shared my tomb!
