LOL ...
this is hilarious.
I'd say you deserved the Gold. Congratulations on a job well done, and a lively imagination as well.

nice with Worcestershire sauce, pepper and a celery stick.
I have drunk a few of these and thank you for the memory.
I like the dramatic appeal of your poem and the way you represent the 'ultimate excuse.' A really wild time in English history, when more than drinks were made red by bloody Mary, the daughter.

Yes, the two gave birth to Princess Mary who, as a Tudor Queen of England, is remembered for the Marian religious executions.
Jolly good Solage, poet/Historian.
