Some Verse

A sonnet, in the style of Edmund Spenser (1552? - 1599), Elizabethan poet, author of The Faerie Queene

Today the twenty-first of March, we deem,
---To pause a bit to honor our old friend,
---The queen of Texas theater supreme,
---Her talent and her wisdom knows no end.
How many great singers did she thus send,

---On out to center stage for all to see,
---And actors - for our fantasies to bend?
---Her vision held the audience in awe.
Behind the scenes I moved on silent paw,

---Inside the shadows following the show,
---To bring the light, the sound, the props, the law,
---Because, of course, onward the show must go.
I'm one of many fans of Judy Jay,

---So thrilled to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
