21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 406

 

Wee Willie Winkie ran through the town

Upstairs and downstairs in his night-gown

Wee Willie Winkie wasn’t his real name

It was just a very cold night for that game

WE DIDN’T REALISE THAT MY DAD

 

We didn’t realise that my Dad

Was one of the great family men

Until that day we discovered

That he actually had three of them

DUE TO THE PITIFUL SIZE

 

Due to the pitiful size of my

Social circle, a lad’s holiday

With me would definitely look

More like a romantic getaway

ONE THING YOU’LL NEVER HEAR

 

One thing you’ll never hear,

And there is absolutely no chance

Of anyone hearing a Hindu say

Oh well, you only live once

I’VE GOT VERY SENSITIVE TEETH

 

I’ve got very sensitive teeth

But I can do nothing bold

I can’t tell the dentist because

They’d be upset that I’d told

I WAS IN SOUTH LONDON

 

I was in south London

And this bloke I met

Said he would attack me,

If I didn’t make a bet,

With the neck of a guitar,

So I said ‘Is that a fret?’

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE STRAWBERRY BLONDE (1941)

 “The Strawberry Blonde” is a Musical Romantic Comedy, Screenplay by Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein, from the Play by James Hagan and Directed by Raoul Walsh.

It’s the story of pugnacious but likable young Dentist, Biff Grimes (James Cagney), around the turn-of-the-century, who lives with his ne'er-do-well father (Alan Hale), and they are both are noted for their scrappy personalities and quick tempers.

However, like every other young man in town, Biff has a crush on gorgeous and flirtatious 'strawberry blonde' Virginia Brush (Rita Hayworth), who gets catcalls every time she walks down the street, but he’s joined in his admiration by his friends, Nick Pappalis (George Tobias), an immigrant Greek barber, and Hugo Barnsfeld (Jack Carson), an unscrupulously ambitious young man who doesn't let anything stand in the way of what he wants, including Virginia.

Meanwhile Virginia’s friend Amy Lind (Olivia de Havilland) sets her cap at Biff.

The Strawberry Blonde is a Charming and entertaining turn-of-the-century romantic comedy and a great film to watch on a rainy afternoon, it will brighten your day.
