Screen goddess Marilyn Monroe Rustling whirled dress with thighs that glow, Her stockings were quite a plenty To cover unshaved limbs, so hairy. Kim Merryman's Cleri-Who? Contest 6/1/2015

Loved the twist at the end. my farther met her in London. She was a lot more intelligent, and a better actress than people think. Such a shame she died so you young. Best wishes. Pete. 7.

A very human touch to this poem with an easily understandable story with some zip to it. Emile.

I believe she also said, "If a man can make you laugh, he can make you do anything"

It is funny to see who and what become our icons, and the things that are mostly not considered. Thank-you for this one.
