Tom Cruise Clerihews

World famous actor Tom Cruise
in talent and looks cannot lose.
Success is the guy’s middle name.
It’s his love life he just can’t maintain!

A younger and hotter Tom Cruise
must have had to wear lifts in his shoes.
His first wife Nicole was so tall!
Did size ever matter at all?

With a much younger starlet, Tom Cruise
got attached, and it made for great news
when he jumped on a sofa with glee
for the whole world to see on TV.

The now over-50 Tom Cruise,
 to avoid more marital blues,
ought to find a new partner who
adores Scientology too.

I hope he would read it too. CAn you ever imagine that? Hey, tom, in the unlikely even that you are reading this, hope you know all this was in good fun. I heard you gave gifts to Katie almost every day, and that was really sweet.. Just don't force the scientology on folks, and you will be adored!!

He sure knows how to stir up controversy from time to time..........either he's hot.....or he's not! I remember those "Top Gun" days.........when he was on top of the heap........but then he got 'creepy' ! Good choice for a cleihew!!
