Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Karen and Cubby

The youngest Mouseketeers, they were
The ones who sang goodbye.
If you watched “Mickey Mouse Club,”
You’d remember if you try.

Her long blond curls and winsome smile
Had cross-the-board appeal
And pairing them together
Really seemed to seal the deal.

Though Cubby lives, I just found out
That Karen’s, sadly, gone,
So “now it’s time to say goodbye;”
Her memory lives on.

Karen Pendleton (8/1/46 – 10/6/19)
Cubby O’Brien (7/14/46 -)

Robert Johnson October 17, 2019 at 8:54 PM Lovely tribute to Karen ilene. I didn't watch Mickey Mouse Club that I remember. There was a show on a local network that was called Barts Club House that I absolutely loved. He showed Popeye cartoons. :) <3 That, and Captain Kangaroo. :)

Gershon Wolf October 16, 2019 at 5:00 PM Now it's time, to say goodbye, to shed a tear for you and me: M-I-C-K-E-Y... Goodbye, Karen. Just perfectly done, Ilene. And it really did bring a tear to my eye. Another salient reminder of how young we are all getting... :) gw
