Tom Cruise Clerihews

World famous actor Tom Cruise
in talent and looks cannot lose.
Success is the guy’s middle name.
It’s his love life he just can’t maintain!

A younger and hotter Tom Cruise
must have had to wear lifts in his shoes.
His first wife Nicole was so tall!
Did size ever matter at all?

With a much younger starlet, Tom Cruise
got attached, and it made for great news
when he jumped on a sofa with glee
for the whole world to see on TV.

The now over-50 Tom Cruise,
 to avoid more marital blues,
ought to find a new partner who
adores Scientology too.

He sure knows how to stir up controversy from time to time..........either he's hot.....or he's not! I remember those "Top Gun" days.........when he was on top of the heap........but then he got 'creepy' ! Good choice for a cleihew!!
