2456 - Frederick the not so great

Stayed in for a change, not nearly as nice
Today anyway, cloudy and quite cool
Bank Holiday Monday has happened twice
In the merry month of May that's the rule
Watched Henry VIII played by Keith Michell
From '73, an old film classic
Based on the TV series, real old school
Catherine Howard was played by Lynne Frederick
I looked her up online, she was tragic
In real life too, depressed, caught in the vice
Of alcoholism, perhaps a fool
But it's easily done - the mind gets sick
Of boredom and its best friend loneliness
Sometimes it's best to fall off the barstool
