Zsa Zsa Gabor and Her Sisters: The Lure and the Lore

Zsa Zsa, Eva and Magda Gabor: 3 Sisters, 20 Weddings

David A. Reinstein, LCSW
Whether they did the luring
Or were they, themselves,
The lured,
Eva, Zsa Zsa and Magda
Had a habit
Than never was cured.
Nine, six and five
Husbands
(Zsa Zsa was never
To be outdone)
Accompanied each
To the alter
Expecting more than
Just a brief night
Of fun.

Between the three
Gabor Sisters,
Eva, Magda and Zsa Zsa,
There were a lot
Of Misters.
Combining the three
There were twenty
Registered and certified
Attempts
To convert a
Relationship with a man
Into a home.
One annulment
And nineteen
Divorces.
One child born
Of all.
A record of sorts
Of discord reports.

Some folks just
Can't get it right.
To others,
Repeated breakups
Are the odd target
They have in their
Sights.
Could a Gabor
Have wanted
Or had
More?
Was anyone
Married
Long enough
To get past
Being sore?
There is considerable
Family lore,
But no one
Can argue
The final score.

    I can't believe one child, dahling?

  • Charlotte Kuchinsky7/26/2010

    Eva was my fave. She was hilarious on "Green Acres."

    When you're famous for being famous, you must do something to keep the attention over the long haul. Delightful poem, David.

    Excellent!!!

    Just maybe some people should not marry.

    Another wonderful article David. It is indeed strange having so many husbands, but this is Hollywood after all... The most strange thing is the lack of children though. I suppose they just would have got in the way...

    I can't imagine having so many husbands. I didn't know about Magda either.
