JFK's Watch Fetches $120,000
A watch that Marilyn Monroe reportedly gave President Kennedy
as a birthday gift has fetched $120,000 at an auction. The gold Rolex
is inscribed: "Jack, With love as always from Marilyn May 29th 1962."
Kennedy was born May 29, 1917.
The watch case contains a poem, written on a small piece of paper, titled,
"A Heartfelt Plea on Your Birthday."
The poem reads:
"Let lovers breathe their sighs
And roses bloom and music sound
Let passion burn on lips and eyes
And pleasures merry world go round
Let golden sunshine flood the sky
And let me love
Or let me die!''
