Starring Miss Clara Bow
Here's a tidbit you may not know
About the silent screen siren Miss Clara Bow:
All her films were a hit,
What she had was called "It",
And the '20s were lit with Miss Bow in the show.
Then There Was Theda
The vamp Theda Bara was quite a gal
On the screen in her roles as a "femme fatale".
She wore costumes revealing
That were often scene-stealing
But were still quite appealing to male co-stars, et al.
Naughty Nita Naldi
Silent screen star Nita Naldi was an Irish dolly
Who began her career in the Ziegfeld Follies.
She was pursued in films by paramours,
Such as R. Valentino and J. Barrymore,
And finally "talked" on TV in the '50s, by golly.

Walking out of church into the autumn morning
Among many this overwhelming feeling
There are no bad people, no addicts this day
Too beautiful and clean: the tall tree, the air, sky
Such a calmness descends
All seems well - no addictions
Not a day to spend frivolously
The gifts of God, generously
Given has sunk into all hearts
Thank you Mrs. Douman, fondly "TANIE NITA"
We were neighbors once, we shared plants
Your homegoing gave all a taste of heaven
And a mixed gathering in South Africa's NGK
Netherlands Gereformeende Kerk today

I have waited
And still wait
For break of dawn
and Nita, my woman
I have sorrowed
And still sorrow
This hook of fate
Delay not my woman!
I have thirsted
And still thirst
At the fountain of love
And still wait for her.
Now the sun has risen
And workers hurry to town
And children back to school
But still no sign of Nita!
Nita, if these lines
should reach you
Hasten!
My heart is sore with yearning!

The Choctaw Indians
From the southern states
This Muskogean group
Like others, their future waits
The American Revolution
Supporting the thirteen states
But history would tell them
As they learn-ed their fate
They were the first Native Americans
To march The Trail of Tears
A supportive tribe
Now living modern fears
To Oklahoma exiled
For the US to expand
To save them from extinction
The want of their land
Ratification of
1831
The Treaty of Dancing Creek
And their politics began
The Choctaw who stayed
In newly formed Mississippi state
The first to become citizens
On America's plate
The humanity of this tribe
Echoed so loud
The Great Irish Famine
Serving these Irish proud
History has noted
The pride in their race
Always willing to serve
No matter the place
In World War 1
They exceeded and rode
The Choctaw language
In Military code
For Kichi Nita
And, Ima Chi Ona
Two Choctaw ladies
Off awesome persona
They carry their past
Like the wind and the eagle
A tribe of true America
The Choctaw People
