Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor,
Married eight times, ex-husbands in a galore!
Many more than two coveted Oscars she won,
Dealing with seven grumpy men - not a lot of fun!

Limerick

There once was a goddess named Liz,
With eyes that could make a man fizz.
She would marry by Tuesday,
Then divorce by Wednesday
Till death or a better offer was her biz.
Eight rings on her finger
Here is our Liz Taylor.

Paula Goldsmith May 11, 2026 at 12:38 PM Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Elizabeth Taylor" write. I enjoyed watching her through the years. Have a wonderful week writing away with your win............... Malabika Ray Choudhury May 11, 2026 at 1:06 PM Thanks, Paula. I didn’t watch many of her movies, but both she and Richard Burton were famous for their roles in movies and their real life!

Valsa George May 11, 2026 at 4:46 AM She must have had a plethora of mixed experiences, sharing her life with more than seven men. Bearing one man itself is a test...! :) :) Congratulations on your first place win. Malabika Ray Choudhury May 11, 2026 at 1:04 PM Thank you, Valsa. Ha ha ha, yes. She must have been really strong to handle such experiences with men!
