Lovers
Ere Romeo and Juliet
Amassed devotees, legion
Juliet's main attraction;
Her bra - balcony region.
Cleopatra's love
Was almost in his grasp
When Anthony fixed her mum's back door
And offered her an 'asp.
Delilah cut his hair,
He'd asked her for a trim;
When Samson saw a mirror,
It proved too much for him.
Henry eighth, the cruellest though,
When Anne Boleyn soft said,
I'd like to lose a little weight,
He yelled, Off with her head!
'asp: Hasp and staple, an old fashioned lock system for a door or gate
Well, it’s sure to drop a few kilos, even if it’s mostly empty from lack of use. Delightful “lifting up” of these classic moments. All grins and giggles, here.

Legend has it that Cleopatra committed suicide by letting an Asp bite her breast, so it was a bit of a play on words. 🙂
