Cleopatra and Elizabeth Taylor

:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>

Cleo and Liz Taylor were known as beauteous queens...
bathed bodies in milk to entice men on-and- off screens
Caesar, Mark and Richard B. fought for these rare roses
… truth is, them dames had pimply chins and pointed noses

Congratulations on your win in Cathy's contest, Nette! Truth speaks for itself! Your humorous Clerihew describes the not-so-beautiful looks of Cleopatra and Liz Taylor. Thanks for commenting on my poetry. Enjoy your victor. Have a wonderful weekend. Peace and Love, Andrew.

You are right they were rare roses, How many times Richard and Liz married and remarried with each other. I still remember The bathing beauty, nette
