There was a man's man, you could say he was grand,
who blessed the cinema screen and had millions of fans.
When he swaggered into a room, men stepped aside,
their wives and their daughters they would all try to hide.
He had something about him, some called it true grit.
Others would say, "What ever it is, I wish I had it!"
He stood around six-foot-four, larger than life.
If you crossed paths, you had better brought more than a knife.
On and off the screen he got his respect,
actors today, sorry to say, don't have that effect.
Willis, Deniro, Pacino and the Rock all rolled into one,
wouldn't come close to John Wayne and the things he has done.
Now I've seen all his movies, thanks to my Dad, his number one fan.
From Rio Bravo, Rooster Cogburn, Chisum and The Quiet Man.
That's just a few, to list all would take too much time
and drain all my ink and ruin my rhyme.
The Duke didn't lose many fights that he fought,
the man he portrayed was invincible we thought.
The battle called cancer he just couldn't juke,
but I'll always remember this pilgrim, known as the Duke.

Just a little guy who is quite pugnacious.
Your roles have been those that are cantankerous.
As an actor, you have been nothing short of fabulous.
So many parts in movies we have gotten to know.
You have often been in films with Robert DeNiro.
Memorable cinema includes "Raging Bull" and "Casino".
Even though nobody has used more profanity,
I have often found you both entertaining and funny.
May there be many more of your movies to see.

Everyone wants to be a hero
everyone wants to be Deniro.
But how many would go absolute zero
die for strangers in rio de janeiro.
If this is what i must live with
Ill never take it to be a myth
or do a way with
I'll just stay there till someone does something about it.
someone like you or I and either you or I.

Robert DeNiro
We saw you star in the movie “Casino”.
You played a ruthless hustler named “Sam Rothstein“.
In that cinematic masterpiece, there was many a great scene.

He is quite a talented actor who is considered better than good.
However, he has to have the dirtiest mouth in Hollywood.
Achieving great fame, his name is one everybody would know.
He has appeared in three big movies with Robert DeNiro.
Those films were “Goodfellas”, “Raging Bull”, and “Casino”.
His histrionics are accompanied with language so dirty and raw.
In the theater audience, there is many a pronounced guffaw.
This actor’s voice usually comes out loud and clear.
I would tell you what he said, but they don’t allow profanity here.
For those of you who consider his words “noise pollution”,
putting your fingers in your ears is one good solution.

You've held me spellbound, raptured, unmistakably out of my own skin, baffled, eyes
watering, teeth giggling
How do you do it?
Bobby D
Many a nights I spent wandering with thee
Brutality and Raging Bull, Repentance in The Mission, That sweet underside when we Meet
the Parents
Bobby D
How do you change outfits like that?
Tuesday you were drowning in love
By Thursday you were sleeping in death
Then Sunday we had a giggle or two
Bobby D
You presence is more real than reality
I was sitting in school dazed like a balloon
Then you came and rescued my from my tomb
Bobby D
No homo, you presented the world to me

A mole is one of those peculiar things
Amazing, in fact, the reaction it brings!
Depending of course, whoever might wear it
It can be either quite icky, or an asset to bear it
Now take witches riding broomsticks...or Nanny McPhee
We would say "UGH!"...."How disgusting"
"Get that ugly thing away from me!!"
But take Robert Redford, with two on his cheek
Or Robert DeNiro.....considered quite chic!
Elizabeth Taylor, had a black beauty mark
As a beautiful girl, ...it added some spark!
If a mole serves a purpose....it doesn't play fair
A mole is peculiar...............but why should we care???
