Inspired by movie: My Fair Lady

tea service sarcasm crumbless tongue maids and servants frown with all-nighter tongue twisters the blister of three a.m. the poor professor stumped marbles roll in head, in mouth mirrors and flames with burning words and swords from poor, tired eyes see a chalk line drawn ‘round the antagonist the king has no say disappears out of sight Doolittle has no fight left ...she falls in love 6/29/2018

Ah, one of my all-time, all-time favorites. Not many better scenes in cinematic history than the one you depicted soooo well. :) Where are the Rex Harrisons and Audrey Hepburns of today?! --It's not fair. The younger generation has no greatness to view! Guess they just have to watch the old movies … :) gw

I agree. It seems grittiness and crudity have taken over comedy! I want for a great musical!
