FAROUK: REGINA OR REX?

In his item last week Dick Johnson wrote: "'Farouk' he said. 'But
note the 'R' under the name. R. Regina. King. That is a Christmas
card from King Farouk to Hans Schulman.' Mark stared in disbelief."

Arthur Shippee writes: "I too would have stared in disbelief at
the discovery that Farouk was transsexual!  Regina is feminine,
and if the cabinet had known, they'd all be emotional wrecks.
Making use of one pronunciation of the Latin, I offer:

There was a Farouk titled Rex,
Till questions arose, in re sex.
  'The R's for Regina?
  So really you mean a...?'
And left them emotional wrecks."
