Off with His Head ("In You End Oh")

But man's capacities have never been measured; nor are we to judge of what he can do by any precedents, so little have been tried. - Thoreau

it matters not how many thumbs are up

only that the queen's are down

what goes around comes around

so don't act so perplexed

you know what happens next

'tis the price you pay, in her kingdom, for writing bad checks

Author's Note

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. It is not important that he should mature as soon as an apple tree or an oak.
Shall he turn his spring into summer?” - Thoreau

Reviews

Sounds like that queen might be "Bloody Mary" Tudor, one vengeful woman. On second thought, she preferred to burn them rather than behead them. I blame Henry the Eighth for at least some of his daughter's excesses.
