Short Grable Poems

Betty Grable, Hedy Lamarre, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner
Stars of the forties, how many can remember
What century am I from
Was in love with every one
Much too young but old now and wearing dentures...

On the right of the screen is this St. Ives ad.
That young brunette there doesn’t look half bad.
Every once in a while, she pops up there.
She smiles while wearing only her underwear.
That young lady looks young, and quite able.
She has the best pair of legs since Betty Grable.
I have only two more lines left to rhyme.
She can pop up on my screen at any time.

Sleaze Bag Who Has Been Inescapable

On long label was willing and able                                                                 To write a fabulous, funny fable     
About rambunctious Betty Grable;
Tore her torso on long leg of table.

Rode away on horse from a stable;
Write this much me she did enable,
Now that I am sturdy and capable;
Sleaze bag who has been inescapable.

I was eating a bagel, 
With the late Betty Grabel 
When I accidentally,
Dropped lox on the floor
 
I thought it was cool, 
Ya know, that three second rule 
So I ate it 
Before someone had walked through the door
  
I thought it was stable 
Near the edge of the table
But it dropped off,
When Mrs. Grable had suddenly sneezed 

But nothing got on it
It just tilted her bonnet 
Thank goodness, luckily... 
Her nostrils were squeezed...

Betty Grable and June Havner
Brought the Dolly Sisters to Life on the big screen
It was 1945

They should have both had top billing
Somehow John Payne sneaked into the middle of them
in every single promotional advertisement

I think this is a reflection of how women are treated
as second class citizens
Dolly sisters, studio, not Dolly end caps!

I loved the movie, every bit of it
but do not like the way the producers
decided to write up the billing...
