Mary Poppins Parasailed

 
 	 With parasol she parasailed
             graceful through the air

         From an angels’ cove she came
             to answer children's prayers

          A genie’s wish in fairy form
             wish-ballons her fare

          Mary Poppins, beloved by all
             magic masked in child-care

Hi Gershon, first saw the movie when such a young child. Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke were amazing. Wonderful movie. Fond memories. Shalom :)

I've seen the movie at least 15 times, and I never tire of it.

That’s lovey Gershon. A poem or a song… Beryl
