That shook loose a silly thought I had after seeing the title of the
first track on Wilderwood's CD. This too is an insta-; polishing
suggestions are welcome.
Eleanor Reigning (ttto Eleanor Rigby)
Alianor Regina
Duchess of Aquitaine when she was only a teen
Then twice a Queen
First married Louis
Sought an annullment 'till finally Louis said "Done --
You've borne me no son"
All those royal people
Come here and take a look:
All those royal people
They're in the hist'ry book
Henry of Normandy
Took her to wife just two months after she became free
What did he see
Just two years later
Henry became King of England, and she Queen again
Her second reign
All those royal people
Change partners in the dance
All those royal people
She got her second chance
Henry of Normandy
Set her aside after Alian bore eight little ones
Three girls, five sons
But she outlived him
And lived on in honor as three of her sons become King
Let the bells ring
All those royal people
The gods above had blessed
All those royal people
They're on the mid-term test!
[And if anyone wants it, "Eleanor Rugby" is still up for grabs.]
