Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American actress, singer, vaudevillian and dancer.
[For last year's verse on Carl Orff click here. The similar imagery between these two postings was, believe it or not, completely coincidental.]
Over the rainbow there’s a place
Where lives are lived without disgrace,
Where movie moguls have no use
For exploitation and abuse,
Where no one merely smiles and shrugs
At overuse of booze and drugs,
Where you can rest your vaudeville shtick
When overworked and feeling sick.
This may be, at least for some,
But not (alas) for Frances Gumm.
