Golden Girls Tribute

"Thank you for being a friend", that's how it goes.
Blanche will fly whichever way the wind blows.
"Traveled down the road and back again", is what they sing.
Rose waits for a light bulb, clueless to everything.
"Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidante", goes the next line.
Sophia shares her sarcastic wisdom, making rose trick a mime.
"And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew", as the song plays.
Here comes Dorothy, intelligent and bossy, so set in her ways.
"you would see, the biggest gift would be from me" It's almost done.
The Golden girls bring so much fun.
"And the card attached would say" as the show portrays,
"Thank you for being a friend".
Sophia, Dorothy, Blanche and Rose,
for eachother, a helping hand to lend.
The show possesses what the song does imply.
The women"s friendship a binding tie.
 A tribute to them as the legend lives,
Their warmth and caring continues to give.




April Wilson-"The Golden Girls"

Congratulations on your win April. Sadly, the only one left of the four is Betty White. This poem describes the show very well with good rhyming.

Thank you!!!!! I'm impressed with such a warm welcome to this group.... @ Kim, The Golden Girls are my favorite. I used to watch them after homework with my grandma every night, God rest her soul. So now it's become an obsession to make me feel like I'm with Grandma again. @ Anne, you are correct!!!! I only wish that in this day and time we could be so lucky as to have those kinds of people around. (I'm sure they're still around, just few and far between). Again thank you all. I look forward to reading everyone's work, as well as posting more of my own.
