Constance La France Poet Clerihew

Bob and Bing

 
Bob Hope,
at birth Leslie Towns, died at one hundred and his life was an interlope;
admired for his comedic timing, facial expressions, and a great one liner,
the "road" movies with his pal Bing- for comedy there are none finer !

Bing Crosby
at birth Harry Lillis, this man so funny and never ever sang off key,
he did so many things before he died at seventy-two, some with Bob his friend
accomplished much and it is said he was the most admired man to his very end

Lindsay Laurie September 29, 2021 at 10:17 PM Hello Constance ... why don't they make movies like 'The Road To...' anymore. They were adored back then and are still today - thank you Constance - Lindsay Constance La France October 1, 2021 at 7:41 AM Lindsay, thanks for the visit, I read that most of the their old movies along with many other old movies were destroyed in a fire at Universal around 1988, I think, that is so sad but some movies survived somehow, some of the road movies and I have seen them, and they are great, I love that sort of comedy ~ love and serenity _Constance
