Since we're having fun, how about a more serious attempt at useful poetry, based on the least amount of research possible.
Catherine of Aragon: loved her like no other,
Anne Boleyn failed to produce a brother.
Jane Semour brought the boy but no more,
Anne of Cleves was shown the door.
Catherine Howard kept her head but a year,
Catherine Parr saw the duty so drear.
Maybe in haiku?
Kate of A, Anne B
Jane Seymour, then Anne of C
Kate Howard, Kate Parr
No complaining. It's worth what you paid for it.

I can't wait for Anagrammed Husbands of Elizabeth Taylor and Anagrammed Wives of Brigham Young. Good luck keeping those straight.

Judging by the following comments, looks like the Train quickly derailed after this ...TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 1:14 pmOoh sorry. We were looking for "caught in a mudslide, eaten by a lion, got run over by a crappy purple Scion".

I hadn't noticed until this haiku that the Catherines and the Annes individually come in alphabetical order. With this haiku plus the divorced-beheaded-died thing, I might actually be able to keep these straight from now on.Peter the accountant wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 4:20 pm Maybe in haiku?

the only problem is the tracks are out of order chronologically, having to fit them on a vinyl album.
