Short Norman Poems

Bless them on their way."
Far better than catty cliches!...

But we never brag about Norman Fell
A native son of Philly we must tell
A comic like Larry Fine
Heroes now on the line
Six degrees of Kevin Bacon in Hell...

The positive passages of Norman Vincent Peale—
Travelled time with mass appeal.
Uplifting affirmations and intentions of healing
Sent psychiatrists and theologians to writing and reeling....

Lots would say that Norman was hard to please.
Although you could always please him with cheese.
Every Christmas song,
He thought was wrong.
To stop you singing, he would sing along.

A coalminer by trade Norman Cornish*
in his forties achieved his artistic wish
Like Lowry, at the end of his working day
locals&locality depicted in his own stylised way

there once was a man named Lear
it can be said it can't be quite clear

if none of the nonsense he wrote
would in a pea-green boat float

but he wasn't King or Norman
that's q*eer...

I wonder if Betty was grandmother to Norman
Both being creative and somewhat prolific
Not knowing either well, I can’t be specific
I’m betting they both own a George Foreman.

Miss Elizabeth Taylor
married everyone she met but Norman Mailer
Received many valentines day boxes
for she was sly as reddish foxes.

Princess Di met one nice guy
Having no idea he loved one who was married.
She is now an angel in the sky,
And he is with his soulmate, who looks quite harried....

I love the work of Norman Rockwell!
It recalls to mind memories,
When the times were more sublime.
Stories written with paint,
I can understand!
His work will live
Forever.
Thank you,
Norm!

Liz Taylor 
 never married
  a sailor, retailer
   or a wholesaler
    or divorced a bailor
     or buried a tailor
      or used an inhaler
       or lived in a trailer
        or dated Norman Mailer
         or kissed a whale or
          even was jailed her
           whole life as a derailer...
