Short Andrews Poems

Sensitive soul Michael Andrews
especially with his painted views
Using spray-painted acrylic
art made his reclusive personality tick...

Our Potus went to Kentucky
Alone with his rubber ducky
Where a shocked Mad Mitch
Shrieked, "Son of a witch!
With that condom, you'll be lucky!"...

I'm a bad boy, and it is uncanny 
How I always get hit on my fanny. 
If I could get my paws...
What I mean, Santa Claus - 
I wish Julie Andrews for my nanny....

Celebrity Limerick


Julie Andrews cheered us in the past.
'Mary Poppins' award she amassed.
Her fine singing allured
And her movies ensured
Wholesome family fun unsurpassed!

Julie Andrews was like a queen
when she appeared on the stage and the screen.
Julie played Maria Von Trapp, Mary Poppins, and Guinevere.
With her talent, she was someone we had to revere.

Such a long-winded line!
Still for me it is fine
Slips and rolls off the tongue
Simply meant to be sung
Sense it lacks by design.
Surveys give it a like,
Same to Andrews/Van Dyke.

Julie Andrews
Eat your heart out
My sound of music
Owns these hills
The pretty painted trees and all
The freedom sloped on every side
The Hudson hovering beyond
These psychedelic theaters that nature cooks by itself
Auf wiedersehen, frauline
These hills are alive with me.

Happy Birthday Patty!
You could sing and dance,
Putting all the boys in a trance,

If you were still here,
Singing the way you did,
It would flip my lid.

Come back!
Come back here,
So we could listen,
And watch you glisten.

You had talent,
You were gallant.
Happy Birthday Patty!

Archie Andrews
Lots of girls from whom to choose,
But one young lady caught his eye
For her he could be the lucky guy.

Veronica Lodge
Would never our Archie dodge
She was always his girlfriend
From the beginning to the end.

Two blue eyes and a button nose
Features so striking all with the right pose
Wrapped in a frame so petite and slim
Looks so gorgeous, proper and prim
With a voice so melodious and smile so sweet
She is the one for whom my heart would skip a beat
Remember popping pop corns with Mary Poppins?
And with Sound of Music a treat so therapeutic
Julie Andrews with whom I cruised
Two blue eyes and a button nose
Gave my childhood a big happy dose

What comic books did you read as a kid?
   Did you thrill to Wonder Woman, the Human Torch 
    or did you watch Archie Andrews as Betty and Veronica competed for 
his love?
  Perhaps you travelled with Namor to Atlantis
      So brightly colored - they attract millions 
of youth 
    Yes, and some of us in late middle age still 
read comic books at times
  The other day 
I saw a man in his seventies 
    lost in a comic book fantasy 
on  a public bus
Nuff said!...

Eons passed

I look at the world

through crystal eyes

seeing many reflections

of the people I have been

time weaving trails of wandering memories

deep in the dark empty space …

on the windswept edge of a great fresh lake

I balance on the razor edge of fate

falling, falling, down into the tunnel of life

downward

awaiting an opening on the other side

of life

The other side of life.

Let’s make art deco Halloween costumes this year, she said.
What are they? I asked. I do not like spending a lot of extra time.
Do a little research, she suggested. You’ll figure it out.
The easiest costume I saw was probably for a flapper.

I put fringe around the bottom of a short straight nightie.
Fashioned a headdress out of a piece of dog leash braid.
I felt like Julie Andrews in the movie Thoroughly Modern Millie
Except she probably had not worn Sketchers, but what the heck....
