Marilyn Monroe

For the glamorous Marilyn Monroe Completely out of their minds men would go Her hour glass figure Sent them a-dither When her two beauties were out there on show. Marilyn wished to be star, perchance Through dangerous years she’d act, sing and dance In films she appeared She lost all her fears And she was never without a romance. As a blonde bombshell Marilyn was known Her face and her shape got her on a throne Some liked it hot When wild the wind got Up went her frock, to her shock all was shown. Sadly Marilyn met her end too soon Now she's flying somewhere over the moon A proven actress In heaven's love nest She dances and sings with angels in tune.

Love this tribute to Marilyn Monroe. It was Norma Jean, right? Her death, like some others' , remains a mystery to this day. Congrats here.

I struggled to write one limerick while you have done a set of clean limericks on Marylin Monroe- the glamor queen! Well done dear friend! All the Best.
