Wendy Sayers Poet Rhyme

Old Movies

How I love those movies of old
Stan & Ollie were slapstick gold
Harold the stuntman, extraordinaire
Fred & Ginger were dancing on air

MGM's lion had a powerful roar
Universal Studios had monsters galore
King Kong, the greatest of them all
When Ray Harryhausen answered the call

Fay Wray became the Queen of Screams
Hollywood, the Factory of Dreams
Little Women, the classic, both happy and sad
Whilst Pollyanna just made you glad

Seven brothers thrilled with their famous barn dance
Gene was doing ballet in Paris, France
Bette, my favourite of trouble and strife
And Jimmy really did have a Wonderful Life!
