Dear Abby!! Help me! I'm perplexed
Cuz Henry Tudor wants me next!
He says he wants to make me queen
And take care of his leg that's green!!
What's more, he's had a lot of wives
And four are dead! Just one survives!
I wonder what would be my fate
If I became the dame of state?
I do not wanna lose my head
When Tommy Seymour's in my bed,
And I don't want to end up dumped
If Hank don't like the bones he jumped!
So tell me Abby, what's the chance
That he gets insects in his pants?
Do you think I can keep my head
If me and him are really wed?
Do I really wanna do it?
Catherine Parr
????????????????????????????????????
Dear Cathy, I will answer you,
But just this once, then I am through !
I think you should become his spouse
And yes, you will survive the louse!
The man is old! He's gonna croak,
And you can have the Seymour bloke!
You'll be the lucky number six
And beat the creep at all his tricks!
Pretend to nurse his nasty limb
And act as if you care for him !
Before his lifeline takes a spill
He's sure to put you in his will!
Do not write back, I won't reply
I'm sick of all this kiss and cry!
I'm gonna have my pen retired
Before I goof up and get fired.
Don't quit while you're ahead,
Abby.
