Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga

When Tony Bennett sang
With Lady Gaga, a duet,
The entertainment level
Was as cool as it could get.

The difference in their ages mattered
Not one little bit
Since their voices, both exquisite,
Did magnificently knit.

But best of all, their friendship 
And their mutual respect 
Had, on everyone who watched them,
A most powerful effect.

News of Tony Bennett’s passing
Means that golden sound is gone,
But at least his voice and videos
With Gaga will live on.

She would have loved Tony and Lady. What a wonderful pair they made, bringing each others beauty out. She was so fortunate to sing w/ one of the greats. I'm so delighted to have found this poem. It is just lovely as were they.
