~the satin doll~
had voluptuous curves, grandeur,
~the satin doll~
with a sultry voice like a child,
moved a president, it is clear,
Marilyn was childlike veneer,
~the satin doll.~

Weave a RONDOLET
For Nette

By John Moses Freeman

This has to be about Marilyn Monroe and pres Kennedy. What a creative verse John, youdescribe just enough detail to tease the mind. Glad I caught on!
