Great Actress

GREAT ACTRESS -- WISE WOMAN     kh

She was great beyond degree 
And wise beyond her years
She could make you laugh hysterically
Or burst out into tears

But her greatest trait 
Though not well known
Was to discern any man's ways
And all his secrets were blown

The theater and show biz 
Filled all her days
At acting, she was a whiz
Could have even done broadway plays 

Watching her movies on Netflix
Broods nostalgic flash back
She knew all the little tricks
Oh how that lady could act

And now for all who knew her
You can surely recall
How easy it is for you to refer
To her ways to make men crawl
