5 Stars! Well done. Really funny!
I hope the poor guy eventually stumbles upon Mrs. Right (Although I've got my doubts)
Got a 3 in this category, but a 4 or 5 in Humor or Satire where it belonged.
5 stars * * * * *
I didn't get it until the end.
Thanks for something different. Thanks for some literature.
Clever! But ape, damn you for.sticking man unnamed, and technically unrelated but obvious song in my head. Sherman's Hermits have a lot to answer for.
Well done; I didn't get it until I got to "Annie" but it all fit. Again, very clever and well written.
5 stars! Very clever, and very funny. Who knows, maybe our narrator might meet another Cathy, one who'll be Parr for the course. Thank you for a fun read.
Clever and well written, with a light, breezy style. However, that also meant that there wasn’t much character development or emotional impact. In retrospect, once I’d caught on to the story, it was almost “history light.”
I got it, just didn't enjoy it, very boring retelling. With zero dialogue there was no story to engage the reader, just a writer trying to be clever at the reader's expense.
Great story with an ending worthy of O. Henry. Considering the content, even Oliver Cromwell might approve. (If he could loosen up some...)
I had to read the comments to figure out what was going on. But, once I had I liked it.
And I thought I wrote a good LW [double] twist. I got a bit lost in the middle TBH. But I was glad I preserved. The resolve gave me a big 😊. Hey, if a damned know-nothing colonial gets the joke, it’s a good joke. Bravo. Em
"How did this happen to me of all people?"
I thought about stopping here.
I did stop here:
"Oh, Cathy, my Cathy!"
Glad I did going by other comments.
Didn't make it past the first Cathy, or was it Kathy? Who cares? Not me. Why would this asshole's meandering recollections of past pussy be interesting?
When Number Three died young and was named Jane, I figured it out. Still, a fun little read. I must admit I didn't know that the axion "If you smell shit all day, check your shoes" originated with Henry VII. But there's no reason it couldn't have. Nicely done.
Didn't like it, couldn't get into it because of the writing. Unlike one of the esteemed commenters below me, I'm not reading other's comments to find out what's going on in the story. I stop reading if the words don't tell me. 2 stars Bob
87% of the commenters are to dumb, disconnected, mentally ill, self-absorbed, unappreciative and/or flat out stupid to either understand or appreciate the cheeky irony of this piece. It's completely wasted on this most of this crowd.
Arn’t some of the commentators dumb ?
A right good royal story, worthy of our current lot.
5 stars.
Some readers are too illiterate to get it. That’s obvious from their adolescents comments.
If some readers don’t get it, it is a testimonial to the desperately poor state of the education system in the U.S. can you say, “Shakespeare?” 5*
