I was intending to publish some more Unfinished Business but I got hung up on an Unfinished Novel I wrote (some 36,000 words) which needed a polish before I shared it with you.\u00a0 Now of course I\u2019m deep into the damn thing.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be awful if I finish it.<\/p>\n
Anyway to keep my three loyal readers happy I thought I\u2019d share a lyric I have been working on.\u00a0 It\u2019s from the non-existent musical Rack of Ages <\/b>by Irving Boleyn.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>It’s not quite finished but you get the drift..<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
The Tudors<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
No one wooed like the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or screwed like the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or rudely chase girls in the nude like the Tudors<\/p>\n
No one as rude as the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or as crude as the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or came quite so quickly unglued as the Tudors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No one ever had such a bad attitude<\/p>\n
They exude turpitude and ingratitude<\/p>\n
Nobody ever behaved quite like that<\/p>\n
They\u2019d chop off your head at the drop of a hat<\/p>\n
They were proud they were loud, they were vain they were mean<\/p>\n
One hysterical pregnancy, one virgin queen.<\/p>\n
Their quarrels were frequent<\/p>\n
Their morals were low<\/p>\n
But nobody ever dared to tell them so<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No one dared boo the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or dared sue the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or, except in the bedroom when bare, screw the Tudors<\/p>\n
Heads were hewed by the Tudors<\/p>\n
Thumbs were screwed by the Tudors<\/p>\n
Who was ever in such a bad mood as the Tudors?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Borgias were gorgeous but not on a par<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t even think of a drink at their bar<\/p>\n
They made killer cocktails which went far too far<\/p>\n
But compared to the Tudors who do they think they are?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Girls were used by the Tudors<\/p>\n
And abused by the Tudors<\/p>\n
And accused of adulterous views by the Tudors.<\/p>\n
First amused by the Tudors<\/p>\n
Then confused by the Tudors<\/p>\n
Their intimate body parts bruised by the Tudors<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Caesars were geezers<\/p>\n
Who killed just for fun<\/p>\n
The Romans read omens<\/p>\n
And killed by the ton<\/p>\n
But compared to the Tudors they weren\u2019t number one<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To conclude with the Tudors<\/p>\n
Not one dude since the Tudors<\/p>\n
Has ever produced such a brood as the Tudors<\/p>\n
No one chewed, as the Tudors,<\/p>\n
So much food as the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or brewed so much beer and then spewed as the Tudors<\/p>\n
No one lewd as the Tudors<\/p>\n
Could feud as the Tudors<\/p>\n
Or had such a bad attitude as the Tudors.<\/p>\n
Wives accrued by the Tudors<\/p>\n
Lives rued by the Tudors<\/p>\n
No one so psychologically screwed as the Tudors!<\/p>\n
