Catherine DeMedici,
Looking to end the
religious divides,
Issued her Edict so
Idealistically;
Nevertheless many
Lost their poor hides.
Something made me think of Catherine DeMedici a couple weeks ago. I don't even remember now what it was. But I thought: "Aha! A double dactyl could arise from this!" And I began to cogitate.
Actually, all I truly remembered about her from my school daze was that she was a ruthless woman and a poisoner. As you can see, after doing a little research, I decided to praise her for her good, yet futile, attempt to bring Catholics and Hugenots together.
So you see, wordplay is not only fun but educational. I learned things about her I had not known!
Or, to paraphrase minimally,
"All I remembered of
Catherine de Medici:
Ruthless, the woman,
Of poisonous tone...
So you see, wordplay is
Fun, educational;
Learned things about her
That I had not known!"
