5170 - Henry the Eighth

He was the top king of English history 
Our kids all learn about his selfish reign 
He was a bastard but his legacy 
Is to separate England from well Spain
As well as the Vatican’s holy chain
All because Anne Boleyn she resisted
In the end he split from Rome, not in vain 
He became God’s representative, bid
Himself the new pope, unprecedented 
Hard to appreciate now, revolutionary 
More important than his emotional pain 
The power structure of ages upended
Thomas Cromwell aided him because he
Was not high born and helped him in his gain
