Just call me Anna
Related to Anne Boleyn that is
Anna of a Thousand Days!
Posting me 1,000th poem on this site today!
Mind you, I\'m her twin sister
With me imaginary barking dog, Fido!
I\'m very eccentric too
The dog\'s very famous, ya know
He barks, reads, and writes
I should be a millionaire by now -
If he was not non-existent!
Ohh, and me whisky-watering too
And moments of nuttiness
How did ya bear with me a thousand days?!
Well, Goldie and I - and you too?
Have been around since before 1066
(Battle of Hastings, England, UK)
We were both in it, ya know!
Poor old Anne, me twin sister
Came to a sorry end
I remember her going to the dress shop with her hubby Henry (VIII)
The assistant said to King Henry:
\"We\'ve not got a lot of stock left
What with you keep chopping and changing!\" (geddit?)*
Cheers! Here\'s to another 1,000 days!
With a tipple for us all -
With water added, of course! lol.
Sshh - don\'t tell anyone
About me non-existent cat too - Tiddles
She is in the clip somewhere!

* I saw a cartoon of Henry VIII and one of his wives in a dress shop in a Caption Competition.
I won the prize of a print, with the caption as above.
