The (Taxi Driver) pulled out a smoke
(On The Water Front), he took a toke
Called (Dirty Harry), such a letch
(Psycho) Sally thought, "What a catch!"
(A Few Good Men), she thought were right
Soon forgot (In The Heat Of The Night)
(When Harry Met Sally), it was (The End)
Of her reserve, (Gone With The Wind)
When (Dirty Dancing), they were known
As dancers in (A League Of Their Own)
(The Shining) new (Mustang Sally) got
Had (Jaws) dropping and talking a lot
Driving a taxi, is not (Easy Money)
(The Bank Job) got the car for his honey
Though just (Small time crooks), with no name
(Public enemies), they became
After a chase (From Dusk Till Dawn)
With (Sudden Impact) they were gone!
On (The Wall) they hit, written in red
(Bandits), (Walk the line) or be dead!
Golly, where do I start when there are so many of them
Some B-Movie actors but so many are gems
The third movie he starred in was with Hannah in Splash
A mermaid so cute, boy her squeals made me laugh
The next one that secured me to liken this dude
Was in Dragnet as Pep Streebeck, his acting so good
Turner and Hooch to A League of Their Own
You can tell by his acting that this actor has grown
Then came the classics that brought him to the fore
Sleepless in Seattle and Forrest Gump, Toy Story so adored
Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal and The Da Vinci Code
Oscars were sure to follow, to the podium he proudly strode
The guy I have chosen, is the fabulous Tom Hanks
In his role Saving Private Ryan, I say a warm-felt thanks
