Just in time for Valentine's, this tastefully decorated authentic replica of Richard III's halberd-smashed skull comes with a fresh crop of red & white roses growing through the available natural and unnatural openings in the skull.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

here you go, [bigsleep]

The Hunchback of Leicester

His rose is white, but for this king, the history is blue
Though he is York, perhaps "the" York, he's not the York you knew
He is no Conqueror, no Lion, as Shakespeare would imagine it
He did not try to rescue Zion, this last of the Plantaganets
He did not sign the document that led us to Democracy
And what we know of him, we know through Tudors and hypocrisy
He is no Ivanhoe sub-plot, no Walter Scott romance
A tragic man without a horse, without a song or dance
A twisted spine, a twisted tale, dead princes in the Tower
And now, unlike the Holy Grail, he’s found – and granted power
But here’s the part I’d like to know about his burial spot
Now that we know Richard the Third was in a parking lot
Was there one more bizarre detail, yes truly, just one more
Was there a hatchback parked above? Or was it a two-door?
