GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY!*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel named Clint,
who lived in tree branches in Eastwood near Flint.
With an armored tank near,
he ruled without fear,
for in Eastwood, with his reign Clint was content.
The rabbits did quake in their burrows,
while Clint fired acorns like arrows.
“Your cheese is certainly no match,
for my tank’s bulletproof with a perfect hatch.
Remember, I’m king of these woodsy meadows!”
So, if you should wander through Flint,
and see Clint with his tank beat up and bent,
just remember this tale,
of nutty squirrel with acorns to impel,
who fancied himself a powerful prince!
Clint Eastwood
hard to believe he played a cowboy called the good
then fought crime and made the bad guys pay
and said go ahead and make my day
His hair starting to recede,
his lips a thin line,
his hands always carrying a gun,
he's got Clint Eastwood eye's,
He'll turn the tables on you,
you had better think twice,
either giving you a punch,
or rolling you like your dice,
And he'll sneeze at you,
just to tease you,
says' "you better freeze or I'll shoot you"
he's ferocious,
and he knows just what it takes to make a pro run,
he's got a Dirty Harry 45 magnum at his side,
he's got Clint Eastwood eye's,
He's either good, bad, or ugly,
you can take your pick,
starring in spaghetti westerns,
most of which turned out to be hits,
And he'll stare at you
and he'll glare at you,
squinting because of all the crime hullaballoo,
running after all the bad guys,
while you sit in your easy chair and eat your buttered popcorn,
he's aged a bit which is a crime,
yet he's still got Clint Eastwood eyes!

Clint Eastwood
Star of Hollywood.
"Go ahead, make my day,"
Is something he might say.

Once Mr. Clint Eastwood
Lost his way in deep Wood
Suddenly a lion came from west
section
Trembling in fear he cried
'Action' !
Aging Actor Clint Eastwood,
Hadn’t really understood
That the president wasn’t there,
As he talked to an empty chair.
