Samuel Langhorne Clemens

Young Sam was unable to fib.
His wit was audacious, not glib.
He’d slowly deliver
a dart from his quiver
and hit you below your spare-rib.


Charles-Edouard Jeanneret

Jeune Charles liked his surfaces hard,
and a unified heavy facade.
He stacked people inside
lives that he circumscribed
with arrogant, cold disregard.


Diana Fluck

An English sex goddess whose name
was changed to make sure that her fame
was focused on parts
more related to arts
and less focused on frolic and shame.

Barry Alan Pinkus
would never try and hoodwink us
but his music and passion
are long out of fashion
so if we were new songs,
he'd sing us.

[Alexander Grace]

Ellis Bell will never wither -
of course she wuthered, but sadly
did not write another.

[Oriane Stender]

Mister David Robert Jones
sang for Years in Golden tones.
While Fame he had
when just a lad
he's lasted longer than some Stones

[Alexander Grace]

David Bowie (and your first is Barry Manilow)

Carlos Ray is well known on the net
for kicking several bails of hay
out of all comers. Here's a rumour:
I have heard that Ray can kill
two stones with a single bird.

[Jerry Glenn Hartwig]

Carmen Cansino...?,

Margarita Carmen Cansino.

Rita, for short.

[Michael Cantor]

Errol Flynn??? Shame on you, Alex. Bernie Schwartz was Tony Curtis. And Jules Garfinkel was John Garfield.

[Alexander Grace]

Errol Flynn didn't sound much like a New Yorker, did he?

John Garfield I'd never heard of, I'm afraid.

(Jerry, I got it, but I googled so I won't spoil it for the others)

And before someone chimes in, I am now aware it's Joan Crawford, not Lucille Ball.
