La femme

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 19 2015 (c)

The french said
"Cherchez la femme"
Women, the sweet "dames"
Were once Pandora
Out of whose box
slipped a rakish aura
And Helen whose
untamed core
raged the Trojan war 
Clytemnestra,the fiend
doomed Agamemnon's end                 
And Elektra plotted the demise
of mom and her accomplice
Not to underestimate Cleopatra's guile
That lured Mark Anthony in a while
Well, I, all those, excel                    
Yet in love..am your guardian angel



* "Cherchez la femme" :
Seek the woman
Femme pronounced as /fam/
*" dames" : ladies..pronounced as /dam/
