Cher

Cherilyn Sarkisian goes by Cher,
Is known for her voice and long hair.
She married Sonny when almost a child.
After two divorces she still thrills acting wild.

Sending you all the blessings of the Christmas season dear friend along with an Aloha hug!. Connie Marcum Wong December 28, 2021 at 1:18 PM She has had so much success in her career….where does one begin with this short form? I did my best to show her personality. Thank you for your wonderful comment. I was quite surprised to make the list because of all the other wonderful entries. Thank you Sam. Have a most wonderful new year! Blessings xxoo

Janice Canerdy April 4, 2019 at 8:08 AM GOOD one, Connie! Janice

Mike Gentile April 3, 2019 at 7:12 AM Connie, Cher has been my fave since 1965 when I used to have here pin ups on my bedroom wall from "Tiger Beat" magazine. I just saw here in concert recently and she truly is amazing. Loved your write. Happy Wednesday xxoo Connie Marcum Wong April 4, 2019 at 2:15 PM Cher and I are the same age and born in the same month of May as well. She is a unique beauty with a voice to match...a triple threat with her acting as well. A star that shines even brighter with the years. Contd. Connie Marcum Wong April 4, 2019 at 2:15 PM I always enjoyed her show on T.V. when she performed with Sonny in her wild outfits created by Bob Mackey. I saw she and Sonny at the airport. Cher was carrying Chasity who was about five at the time. Thank you much. Have a blessed Easter. xxoo

Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2019 at 3:19 PM Good one,Connie.I did clerihews on both her and Sonny a long time ago. She is a fun one to do clerihews on. Congrats for your win, sweetie.

CayCay Godwin April 2, 2019 at 11:37 AM I saw you got 2nd place with this, congratulations! Cher was an excellent choice. Man, can she sing. Regrettably, I don't think she fared well with her last facelift but not I'm gossiping. A good one, Connie. LOVE her acting, too. Love ... CayCay

M. L. Kiser April 2, 2019 at 1:07 AM She's amazing; wish I looked like that, though. Beautifully penned and I am sure that Cher would be pleased. Congrats on your win.

Robert L. Hinshaw April 1, 2019 at 12:04 PM Back to offer congratulations for your well-deserved win for this very and apt clerihew! Many thanks for your kind comment re my entry in the contest - BoB

Lindsay Laurie March 31, 2019 at 7:41 PM G'day Connie … takes my mind back to gosh knows when, and I heard Sonny and Cher sing 'I've got you babe' for the first time - thank you Connie - Lindsay

Kim Rodrigues March 31, 2019 at 1:57 PM I saw Sonny and Cher in Saratoga Springs, NY when I was a kid. Loved it! First time I saw stars. I've seen Cher perform a couple of times. Congratulations! Startstruck...Kim

Joseph May March 31, 2019 at 8:38 AM Sonny & Cher's first song was " I got you babe", a big hit...Congrats on your win Connie

Tania Kitchin March 31, 2019 at 7:32 AM Congratulations on your winning placement Connie with your awesome Clerihew!

Ralph Sergi March 30, 2019 at 2:15 PM Lovely clerihew, Connie She has come a long way and she won an OSCAR! Connie Marcum Wong March 30, 2019 at 3:14 PM Yes, she is definately a tripple threat! I saw she and Sonny at the airport one time. Cher was carrying Chasity who was about 5 at the time. I wish she would make more movies. She is a marvel at 72. A favorite singer of mine too. Thank you Ralph.

Silent One March 30, 2019 at 6:32 AM This is a good one for the contest, such an amazing woman is Cher... of course someone 27 marrying someone 16 would be frowned upon these days.. I think elvis had a girlfriend who was 14.... or was that when he married her? Connie Marcum Wong March 30, 2019 at 3:42 PM No, Elvis met Priscilla when she was 14 but didn't marry her until much later when she was 21 though she lived at his home. Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 year old which caused an outrage. Cher is a multi talented marvel who at 72 is still performing! Thank you Silent. : )

Bette Bavington March 29, 2019 at 9:52 PM Nice tribute to a magnificent singer and actress. She is one of my favorite singers. Her if I Could Turn Back Time brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

Jean Murray March 29, 2019 at 4:51 PM She is even coming to Ireland on tour Connie. 16?? wow!!

Rico Leffanta March 29, 2019 at 2:03 PM Well done, Connie, but I am surprised by the comments as Cher is a multi-talented woman esteemed by many for her support of her daughter. How many 16-year-olds carve their own future to such an extent? Bonne chance! Aloha! Rico

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 29, 2019 at 1:04 PM Cher rocks, period. Awesome Cerihew! Good luck in the contest Connie :) xomo!

Nette Onclaud March 29, 2019 at 12:54 PM cher still has a great following with her body re-sculpting, enticing costumes, and unique singing... love your fine clerihew, connie... huggs

Phyllis Babcock March 29, 2019 at 11:47 AM Enjoyed their singing and show. Hard to believe she will be performing in Saskatoon this summer. A hard life to travel all the time. Enjoyed your poem. love phyl

Robert L. Hinshaw March 29, 2019 at 11:07 AM A great entry for the contest, Connie! Good luck - Bob
