Benny Mussolini

Benito Mussolini was known to folks in Italo as Il Duce. But they became disenchanted and hanged him with a noosey! He was strung upside down with Clara Petacci his moll! 'Twas an ignominious finale for his closing curtain call! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved

Some of Adolf's boys saved him the first time, but Benny was not so lucky the second time. Another great clerihew Bob.
