Ode to Betty White

Betty White always made us smile.

Been doing that for quite a while.

Entertainer extraordinaire.

TV, movies and everywhere.

Lucky us to enjoy her fun.

It will live on, for she’s not done.

Lasting comedy we can see.

So she’ll live on in history.

So very very classy this lady with a smile.
And a wit as sharp as a razor.
Oh how she could beguile.
Fun and funny she made dark days sunny.
Even the animals knew she was the one.

She was one-of-a-kind. So gracious and happy all the time. My simple observation is that funny people in show business, if they are not hung up on any psychological problems, tend to live a very long time making other people happy with their jokes.

Dear Betty you look like her so much you could be her double.
I enjoyed the tribute to a lovely lady, who always made me smile.
The Golden Girls was one of my favorite show.
Take care, and stay well, love, Vie.
