Valentino's silent eyes Chaplin with his Coppers Harold hanging from a clock Buster's deft heart stoppers Stanley's caused another fine mess Hardy play with his tie-ny Lou hollers 'Aaaabotttt!' at Boris, Bela and Chaney Hitchcock says 'Goode Heevning' Gracie says goodnight Danny's in King Arthur's court Stooges start to fight Bogie in his white fedora Groucho's one-line quips Russell wore an Outlaw-ed bra Astaire taps and flips Vaudeville stage to silver screen Hollywood stars in the sky And without their influence I would not be I Alicat, finally posting a week-long poem |

It's OK, Deer - Ali's a lot younger than you are, and he knows 'em all... We all saw them in reruns, didn't we??? Ali - This is a great tribute to the "originals"... - Nice job, my friend..  |

Well, well, Kitty Kat!  This looks like it took some work for sure. Your efforts turned out wonderfully in it. I adore it, and...shhhh!! I EVEN know the names too! How could I let this go without bringing attention to it? No one should miss this! Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Great work Alicat! You've woven these greats together into a wonderful tribute! (and yes, I did recognize them all also  ) Wonderful poem, it brought back some terrific visual memories! Best wishes, /Kit |
