Cool clerihew. I need to write more of these again! I would not have known her until I saw she was in Mash.

Thanks Andrea. Quite frankly I didnt remember any of her other shows/movies. Her character and her ability were so outstanding in MASH-I was an avid MASH watcher

A great poem on a great series. The nurse on MASH was very talented.
