Response to Pandora's Challenge

MM MEMBER

Pretty lady Grace
can crit without a trace
of malicious attitude,
she has never been rude.

Pretty lady Grace,
her wrists adorned in lace,
picks up her pen, a poem to write,
and pictures, what a sight!

MM MEMBER

Funny lady Nina
who writes from a cantina,
is friendly as she can be
to all of you ... and me.

Funny lady Nina
she dreamed of ballerinas,
now when she writes a bit prose
she stands upon her toes!

MM MEMBER

Feisty ole Just Dan'
is really quite the man.
I love the way he teaches
with cute little poetic speeches.

Feisty ole Just Dan'
he'll help you all he can.
With a well-trained poetic mind
he leaves the gunk behind.

FAMOUS PERSON

The popular Madonna
spent too much time in sauna,
now she's red and slightly pruned
as she stands on stage to croon.

FAMOUS PERSON

Miss Agatha Christie
who's heart beat rather friskie
at the frightening crime she sat to pen,
for her perps were all young men.

FAMOUS PERSON

Oh, to be President Bush
and sit upon your tush,
to delegate the meanest chores
and run for four years more.

(No offense intended.  I know he does much more! LOL)

BOOK CHARACTER~from Murder, She Wrote

That Mrs Jessie Fletcher
the killer has yet to ketch 'er.
She 'id inside the darkened room
and felled 'im with 'er broom!

BOOK CHARACTER~from Moby Dick

The crusty Captain Ahab
intended just a jab
but delivered quite a shocking stick
when he stopped ole Moby Dick.

BOOK CHARACTER~from Horton Hatches the Egg

Poor, poor Horton
thought about abortin'
the nest that made him rather sad
before becoming "dad".

Book Character

Oh Romeo!

Romeo,
what he didn't know...
if only he waited to learn the truth
he could've become a fine sleuth!


School Teacher

Mrs. Good

My second grade teacher Mrs. Good
tried to find ways to harass (as she could)
but what she didn't know all along
we were actually singing her song!

Famous Person

Eric Bana

You soared over HULKing in Troy, Eric Bana,
as Hector, you bulked more than Indiana
Jones we all know; Will your career take you higher
or will your role choices make them dire?

Hi Don.

Eric Bana played the lead role in the movie HULK, which aired before the movie TROY.

Personally, I think he did a much finer job in Troy as Hector.  vic.gif  :lovie:

Indiana Jones is the character played by Harrison Ford in the Radiers of the Lost Ark trilogy from the 80's.  Pirate.gif

Cheers!

a few more:

Book Character

Robert Langdon

Harvard Symbologist Robert Langdon was key
to uncover a Masonic decree -
and found more than bargained for in the scripts
of 'Angels & Demons', the Vatican crypts!


Famous Person

Orlando Bloom

As legolas, a blonde Orlando Bloom
the Elf-man saved Middle Earth from doom
But as Paris in Troy,
he was more like a boy.
