Best Grable Poems

My mother's name was Seraphine
A sadder child was never seen 
Her duty was to serve the table
Of newly widowed Mrs. Grable

Her husband Mr. Grable died
To keep the British gratified
For which the lady, born and bred
Was brought to stay with Master Ted

Their lineage was the House...

Saul’s twinkling eyes took it all in – the platinum hair framing a first-class face, the silvery sheath dress wrapped around a figure that was out of sight, but in plain view. She was definitely the classiest thing in the joint -- Bannister’s by name,...

Ah! The Golden Years of Hollywood
And those old black and white movies
Some were cinematic disasters
But some you could call quite groovy

Even now, my heart skips a beat
When one appears on the late night screen
I choke up a bit seeing John Wayne
As he swaggers in and...

March 8th - International Women's Day The World Over

Down to the wire, before this
calendrical occasion doth expire,
though arbitrary twenty four hour
time set aside for guide
ding hand of the supposed/purported
fairer gender, yet human race, yet hide
bound male oriented (patriarchal) must
relinquish reigns of power and egoistic pride!

Survival...

I was eating a bagel, 
With the late Betty Grabel 
When I accidentally,
Dropped lox on the floor
 
I thought it was cool, 
Ya know, that three second rule 
So I ate it 
Before someone had walked through the door
  
I thought it was stable...

On the right of the screen is this St. Ives ad.
That young brunette there doesn’t look half bad.
Every once in a while, she pops up there.
She smiles while wearing only her underwear.
That young lady looks young, and quite able.
She has the best pair of legs...

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...

A Priest Who Had Schumer Humor

Our priest had almost been a baby boomer,
Who is religious and we even heard a rumor
He did dodge,
Having a massage;
Has friend named Schumer with much humor.

Priest always thought he was so slick;
And in my neck always created a crick;
He had...

Brrrrr my alarm clock wakes me with a start. I open heavy eyelids to see sun streaming through a chink in the curtains. Bounding out of bed I hurriedly dress in my bikini and cover up with my shortest shorts and tightest tee-shirt. With my...

I got a text from one of my professors yesterday saying, ‘Please stop by my office at 6 pm tomorrow.’ It didn’t say why. This was the first day after November recess, had I missed something? That night, I’d gone through the syllabus, checking every...

Betty Grable and June Havner
Brought the Dolly Sisters to Life on the big screen
It was 1945

They should have both had top billing
Somehow John Payne sneaked into the middle of them
in every single promotional advertisement

I think this is a reflection of how women are treated
as second...

in the 1940s many movie comedies dealt with heaven
hell, reincarnation, the devil, angels, body snatching
I get a channel called Classic Reel with my Roku
The movies shown are from the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s

I saw three of these shows this week
the one about hell was...
