Sally Ann Howes (20 July 1930 – 19 December 2021) was an English
actress and singer. Her career on screen, stage and television spanned
six decades.
Yes I Can!
At her audition for the role of Truly Scrumptious, Howes was asked if she could dance. Her father had taught her to always say yes if a director asks if you can do something, and then if you can't do it, learn very quickly how to. – adapted from Wikipedia
If Sally Ann Howes was presumptuous
When she vied for the role of Miss Scrumptious,
Her dad always said
That you won’t get ahead
If you're sheepish or shy or compunctious.

Déodat de Séverac (20 July 1872 – 24 March 1921) was a French composer.
Artistic Speculation
Picasso sketched de Séverac,
Exhibiting his inherent knack
For such impromptu bric-a-brac.
But was this energetic scrawl
In part inspired by alcohol?
I wouldn’t be surprised at all!
