Anne, the Rest is History

Reconstruction was finally complete, and the Gilded Age began
Anne lost her husband to wasteful war and sought a new man
Some deemed Anne sluttish, but she sure didn’t mind
Indeed, a woman like her was quite hard to find
She found another lover and bedded him well
Anne’s friends proclaimed she’d burn in hell
These words seemed powerful, but Anne couldn’t care less
She was all-oblivious to this preposterous mess
Anne wasn’t worried about her judgment day
For she conceived it was many years away
Anne and Dan played too much and produced a child
Undoubtedly her life was becoming increasingly wild
If Anne left nothing else for posterity, she left her boy
Unfortunately his goal in life was to annoy
The enmity between them became unbelievably strong
Anne started to ponder what she did wrong
She often debated between killing herself or her son
In Anne’s mind nothing else could possibly be done
Alas, Anne decided to take her young son’s life
She planned on ending him with a crude knife
But Anne slipped on the unswept floor of his room
Instantly meeting her most unimaginable doom
Apparently the wood surface was besmeared with grease
Anne’s thin skull split into more than one piece
The boy hated Anne more than she hated him
He believed his future with her was very dim
Some felt Anne got the fate she deserved
In the boy’s opinion, justice was served
Anne’s son’s life was covered in mystery
Making him the neatest person in history
As emperor, he pillaged and conquered hundreds of nations
Yet he is known for epitomizing poor mother-son relations
