       Marilyn Chambers, the fair maiden who donned the box cover of Ivory Snow, 
       
      The soap was 99 44/100% pure”. 
       
      Although, 
       
      Her movies she had made weren’t that for sure. 
       
      She graced the cover on the box holding her commercial kid, 
       
      Later, she discarded her clothes, making pornographic movies, and lo 
       
      And behold 
       
      She made more, 
       
      And from the grace that was almost pure, 
       
      She fell like Ivory Snow down to putrid slush Behind the Green Door. 
       
      Alas, this porno queen has fallen at age 56, 
       
      ------------no cougar anymore, 
       
      -----------she will be missed dearly 
       
      Making porno movies could be hazardous to your health, 
       
      Could this be the reason she died so early? 
       
      Maybe. 
       
      In some ways, 
       
      Procter & Gamble, unaware of Chambers' role in the X-rated film, 
       
      used one of her photos that had been taken during her New York modeling 
      days 
       
      on its laundry detergent box -- she's shown cuddling a laughing baby. 
       
       
      Procter & Gamble, whose Ivory products were "99 44/100% pure," 
       
      quickly pulled the boxes from store shelves.  |
