Thanks Hanks

Golly, where do I start when there are so many of them Some B-Movie actors but so many are gems The third movie he starred in was with Hannah in Splash A mermaid so cute, boy her squeals made me laugh The next one that secured me to liken this dude Was in Dragnet as Pep Streebeck, his acting so good Turner and Hooch to A League of Their Own You can tell by his acting that this actor has grown Then came the classics that brought him to the fore Sleepless in Seattle and Forrest Gump, Toy Story so adored Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal and The Da Vinci Code Oscars were sure to follow, to the podium he proudly strode The guy I have chosen, is the fabulous Tom Hanks In his role Saving Private Ryan, I say a warm-felt thanks
