My Wife Marilyn Monroe

I’m a simple man with stature quit norm In search of a partner who could weather a storm A woman with style, elegance, glamour and grace A vision of beauty, charm, poise and a pretty face She would be fast with a quip and quick with her wit Every room she appeared would be instantly lit She’s more than celebrity she’s a culture icon Changed her name from Norma Jean to Marilyn Oh how she and I could set fire to a town The two of us together would burn the house down Marilyn Monroe will you marry me? What a sight for all my friends to envy and see
