When blind Garbo slumped by a pillar,
She feared champagne’s popping would kill her.
Cyd Charise in silk hose,
Though she shared this repose,
Showed Moscow’s “Red Blues” made her iller.


In the days he was he, and he she,
A queen only could tell her from he
And showed he of Wessex
Knew far less than her sex -
Leaving Will free to be or not be.

Reminder: You have until Monday (midnight) to submit these to the Washington Post limerick competition.

Lots of rules, but in a nutshell: Use your real name, provide an address for the prize, don't submit things you already published, and don't submit more than 25.
