Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Stars of the Forties

Betty Grable, Hedy Lamarre, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner
Stars of the forties, how many can remember
What century am I from
Was in love with every one
Much too young but old now and wearing dentures

Now I will spend my morning trying to think of more. Patricia Cresswell August 10, 2017 at 10:53 AM I love to reminisce. Especially over hot chocolate and homemade ginger snaps. Jack Ellison August 10, 2017 at 8:11 AM LOL! Fun to reminisce eh... as I sit in my old rocker!!! GOOD GOOD MORNING MISS PATRICIA!!! Love, Jackson xxx
