Rita
(nee Margarita Carmen Cansino)
If there was ever a woman
Who was too much for any man
You were the one.
During WWII
You gave our guys something
To fight for…or with.
Your picture shared more
Foxholes than any other.
And why not?
You could warm any night
Cool any day
And melt a bullet in
Mid flight.
Some stars lit up the Big Screen
You lit up the world.
They said you had five
Husbands.
Like I said
You were too much
For any man.
You left us too soon
But you left enough films
Behind for men and women
of all ages
To sing, dance, and have
great fantasies with
For as long as we know how
To celebrate a face that could
Launch a million dreams
A smile that could warm a million
Hearts. And the hottest lips
That ever caused hormones to
Do cartwheels.
