Dear J: Henry The VIII

[J],

Did you listen to popular music at all when growing up? I used to spend hours with Mom’s old tube radio and the rocking chair in the 60s, loving the music. There was a British group then, known as Herman’s Hermits, that published a string of top 40 hits including “I’m Henry the Eighth”.

The kind of play on words found in that song was often used in lyrics in those days and kept the teenyboppers laughing, pondering, and bopping. :-) You ever write anything like that?
