Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Betty Boop From Beirut

A lot of us have nicknames

Have you heard of “Betty Boop from Beirut”

The sweetest flower in the Middle East

Passionate, loving, and caring

Describes her to a “t”

It is an honour for me to call her my “friend”

I speak of course of Eileen Manassian

Who did you think I was writing about... duh!

Those who know her and I'm sure there are many

Are aware of her warm heart, her loving, caring soul

A true sweetheart of a lady

I am truly blessed to call Betty Boop my friend!


– signed Kenny, with love

Carol Eastman August 18, 2014 at 11:48 AM We have Betty Boop on the back of jeeps and at air fields. Didn't know she was alive in Beirut! Since you dedicated a poem to her... I brought up all those Betty Boop cartoons. I read them in the comics as a kid. Dragon is enjoying the cartoons as I'm writting. He thinks she's cooler than even Godzilla. A BIG compliment from Dragon! He was talking about visiting her in Beirut... But not to worry... I showed him a map and explained his little wings aren't ready for that trip yet...
