Elmer Fudd had a habit
He hunted for a Silwy Wabbit
Bugs Bunny was his name
What's up Doc... was his fame
Wile E. Coyote
Had been smoking peyote
So, he thought it looked funny
Elmer Fudd shooting at Bugs Bunny
Famous pet doctor, James Alfred Wight
Who, at 50 years of age, began to professionally write
Taking "James Herriot" as his pen name
Bought from a goalkeeper at a football game
Couldn't publish with the name he used as a vet
Self-promotion goes against professional etiquette
But he had a way with words
To write many funny blurbs
About his family, his friends, and their pets
His books then made their way on TV
A film, a sequel, and shows on the BBC
But the man was unflattered by his fame
After all, the critters still saw him the same!
Marion Robert Morrison
his voice couldn’t be confused with Roy Orbison
but he really gained his fame
when he became known as John Wayne
Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon,
Had moves defenders would frown upon.
From Lagos to Texas, he rose to fame,
And left rivals grasping in shame.
As "Little Moses," they called his name,
In Houston, he rose to acclaim.
He ruled with finesse,
Brought gold to the press,
And walked in the halls of great fame.
Till today, he's a legend of the game,
And basketball players still honour his name.
One of the greatest, his legacy thrives,
Still sharing his wisdom in many lives.
"Life is about taking risks to get what you want."
Quote by _ Adam Lambert
Adam Lambert,
runner up on American Idol 2009. Oh, that hurt !
But with magnetic power and charisma he toured with Queen,
his makeup, flamboyance, costumes and vocals are to be seen.
Adam's first real job was on a cruise ship,
with theater and singing- his courtship;
he grew up in San Diego,
rising to fame, a Draco ...
a twisting constellation, a starship !
So talented, "music is where my heart is," he declares,
and his performances on stage leave audiences in tears.
On a wild journey, touring, creating albums and singles,
while touring with Queen, gathering awards and accolade sprinkles.
Diego Armando Maradona :
Dashy pushy rustic persona.
Small structure caught in five feet five frame
Sunny player in fabulous fame.
Promising skill on challenge of arrogance .
Strong sturdy solid sense to keep balance.
Tangled disarranged hair.
Careful, yet without care.
Excitement to enhance but not perchance.
Bullish, buoyant, graceful with eyes angelic.
Not polite, over confident, strategic.
Impatient cocky, the stocky number Ten
to sky ball on loops of eyes reaching heaven.
"Limerick - Syllables 12,12,8,8,12" ~By Poet~
Stevie Wonder.
Blinded after birth by a hospital blunder.
At three he played music with pots and pans.
Self taught piano, at nine he played to young fans.
Stevie Wonder decided to bet Tiger Woods
To play golf at a golf club in their neighborhoods
Tiger, he chose where they would play.
Stevie would choose the time of day.
Stevie chose midnight. He won and went home with the goods.
At 13 he was the youngest solo artist ever to top the charts.
Being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, warmed hearts.
He won a Grammy for "That's What Friends Are For"
Stevie Wonder, an incredible performer has fans galore.
