Notes About The Poem

22.33  July 12, 2025

Betty White

An American legendary comedian and actress
Now smiles on new stamp of USPS
A long-lived fellow born in Illinois
With perpetual charm and glamor, oh boy!

Betty Marion Ludden-- her real name
Her screen role and contributions brought her fame
First woman who produced the American national TV show
A sitcom star with various awards, still to mention below.

For almost seven decades on vast screen appearances
Brought world-wide entertainment,  great happiness
From radio, starred on TV productions and variety shows
Game show host icon and on Emmys--winning awards snow!

Considered as Guinness World Record Holder
For Longest Career on Female TV Entertainer
An author of six books, some with audio, a talented writer
Her charity works advocated animal rights, so remarkable!
