Marilyn Monroe
Born and christened plain Norma Jean, acting was her childhood dream,
She changed her name, became a Hollywood Legend, a Movie Star, a Beauty Queen.
Yet behind the glamour and fame she lived a tragic, unhappy and too short life,
Although it was known she was a President's mistress and a playwright's wife.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel
A truly great engineer, a genius of his craft, so many things did he build
He forged progress in so many spheres as his visions were fulfilled.
Bridges, tunnels, viaducts galore, his projects shape the landscape still,
He left such structures to be admired, great testament to his will.
