Couplets for Cook

Google her, or grab a book,

And learn about Miss Barbara Cook,

Who won her way into our hearts

Creating her iconic parts.

In her youth she brightly stunned a

Jaded world as Cundegunde;

Then sang sweetly on the prairie in

The Music Man as prim Miss Marian.

With passing time she said adieu

To acting as an ingenue,

And then considered what to do.

She realigned, and found her way

In solo shows and cabaret.

And as a happy end result

Her fans are loyal as a cult.
