Michael Cain

English actor, Michael Cain -
As a film icon, may he ever reign.
Age 90, rich and retired is he.
He’s had a grand life. Don’t you agree?

A most wonderful clerihew, Andrea. Such smooth flow and appropriate word choice. Thank you for rereading Mother Earth Etc which by the way came second in the same monthly contest as Stoic, my first serious poetry placement, Howard

Back to say I have read your winning work and found it to be very interesting. Congratulations!! Way to go. I remembered a movie he was in after I looked him up and saw some pictures of him in the different stages of his life and that movie was "Cider House Rules". Sara K

I have seen him on TV in either programs or in a movie. I always enjoyed his characters, but I don't know anything about him other than that. Thanks for sharing this tidbit of information about him. Reads like a winner if for a contest. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest. Sara K

The man who would be king, is probably my favourite Michael Cain movie, both he and the late great Sean Connery played lead roles, a pretty inevitable tragic ending! Nice tribute, cheers David

He has indeed been an inspiration to many and a wonderful actor to watch. He has a lot of natural charisma and appeared in many interesting films. If I recall, he also starred in a TV series called the prisoner, which was very avant-garde. You picked on a good one!
