Make ‘em Laugh


Kaye Ballard rambunctiously bowed

To acknowledge the cheers of the crowd.

She had learned they’d applaud

If her acting was broad,

And her singing was belted and loud.

Stick to Your Guns


Daniel Gregory Mason wrote

   In the style of yesteryear,

And never penned a single note

  That was challenging to hear.


As his life grew long, then longer,

   Still he rallied to his Truth,

And his fealty grew stronger

   To the fashions of his youth.
