Judy Garland 1922-1969

Thought I heard a bluebird sing somewhere over the rainbow I was wrong 'twas but a song playing away there on the radio bought a garland and some gum for Frances the girl next door sadly due to a bad accident in London the unfortunate lady is here no more studio moguls and public pressures to their shame were to blame no doubt but the brainless Scarecrow simply said of her... 'She just plain wore out'

A touching tribute. Well done, Martin. Will this become a song?
