BOB HOPE

Mr Robert Hope
always acted the dope
made his wealth from jokes
and his applause from folks.

WHAT’S IN A SOUND

Mr Les Paul
Where would we all,
Be without your sound
In this, the creation that you found.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/11/2012 3:05:00 PM these are GREAT, Harry. In the Bob HOpe one, you could also use the word "earn" in place of "made" and that would go better with applause, do you think? Keep up doing more of these. Love them. Login to Reply
