Double Whammy Clerihew

Pierce Brosnon is divine
Of male species so sublime
Sky blue eyes and peppered hair
Just make me want to bare

He and Russell Crow
Just make me go go go
Gladiator despite the gore
Just makes me want him more!

Au contrair, Eileen. There are a couple blondes that stand out... Kimberly Perry for example... I don't know how popular country music is in Lebanon, but look up the song If I Die Young by The Band Perry and watch the music video... gives me goosebumps for some reason...

these are cute guys!! I heard some bad stuff about Crowe and I think I even heard he had bad breath from an actress that had to kiss him.. hahaha. My clerihew poems would be on guys like Ryan gosling, Tom Cruise and George Clooney. oh, boy, there are too many to name as I think of it!!

SUPERB choices. Of course who doesn't love Clooney? I love the unshaved look! SO appealing!!! A man with no stubble on his chin needs to let some grow!Tom Cruise...AMAZING actor! VERY good looking! In real life I think he has issues...Ryan...no...doesn't move me! ;) Sorry hon! You can have him!! As for the halitosis...maybe some breath mints might help! ;)

IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THEIR LOOKS! ;) shame on me, yes? No, but they are good actors as well, so..that helps! I could have many more in the list...but to me..ideal looks are found in Pierce! Of course..there is so much more to life than looks! Thanks for stopping by!
