Two stars of a former age
they were a class of their own
superlatives cover them all over
bound for stardom before been known

Firstly a real lady of regal renown
Ms. Hepburn indeed Audrey by name

so attractive even before her true fame

Sidney Cat****

Here is another cat in this home’s 
trying herd, who wears his fur 
with a shiny, pretentious pride (for 
which, of course, there is no cautioning word 
to hint to him about humility, because

Sidney has his mirror at

Here lies Sir Sidney C. Hall
Bald as a baby caused he mowed it
Knighted by the asylum matron, “The Mad Poet”
Considered by many as being funny
To the ladies his lyrics were milk and honey

Loved by women for been well hung, not small
And as this may sound profound
By weight of them he

Such of course will fuel my fire...
To pen again of your desire...
