Daver Austin Poet Haiku

Jeanette and Nelson

JEANETTE AND NELSON

jeanette and nelson
nothing sweeter, more serene
a lost innocence



Sweethearts of the 30s –
We old timers can’t forget them
And when they sing together
We weep.
          Jeanette McDonald
                   And
              Nelson Eddy
