The Last Resting Place Of A Monarch


A Grave Problem (the apparently sad & ignominious end of Richard III)

I’ll tell of a weird thing that occurred,
Tho’ the picture’s become slightly blurred.
It’s a devilish mystery,
To find the right history,
Of just what happened to Richard The Third. 

At Bosworth, Henry won and was bester,
Determined to let Richard’s bones fester,
He killed the old Plantagenet,
Then laughed and just for a bet,
Buried him in a car-park in Leicester.
