Poem
The Tramp Persona Who was this boy, a pauper born? Existing in despair and continual forlorn Scandalized, accused of communist sympathies Encompassing both adulation, and social controversies Charlie Chaplin how can I take you seriously? Chucklesome slapstick injecting tragedy Awkward, little mime tugging at the heartstrings A cathodic empathy he brings of all those around him, a famous clown A wiggled walk, a cane, a grin, a frown The Great Dictator, as plain as black and white In the struggles against misfortune, the tramp persona typified A virtuoso kid he found at a hall by chance A four-year-old child, he saw him dance A gift he gave to us, a sharing alliance The Tramp who mastered the power of silence I was hardly aware of a crisis because we lived in a continual crisis; and, being a boy, I dismissed our troubles with gracious forgetfulness. —Charlie Chaplin, on his childhood Marylin Monroe “She was a tramp.” Without her contracts at 20th Century Fox and Columbia (which had both been dropped) who were hungry for denial and headlines. Instead, Marilyn said this: “I was broke and needed the money. Why deny it? Tom Kelly’s racy nudes of me You can get one [a calendar] anyplace. Besides, I’m not ashamed of it, I’ve done nothing wrong I was a week behind on the rent and it’s here where I belong I’d never have done it if I’d known things would happen so fast in Hollywood for me.” Her candor and honesty charmed everybody You have this sense of having met a wounded little canary not a peacock. Only when you pick it up in your hand to comfort it … beneath the wounds, vulnerability, and innocence, you find raw strength, and a big heart—I Am Anaya Lady And The Tramp A warm and loving story For dog lovers, in the sense of humor A carefully nurtured cocker spaniel, Lady Born in New York City a Baby boomer Natural beauty overwhelming, a pedigree no vamp And a rakish, debonair, freedom-loving wanderer of a dog who wares no man's collar, Tramp
