Tribute to Julie Andrews

 

The poem below came to me after watching multi-talented Julie Andrews receive the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award on TCM a couple of nights ago.

Ode to Julie Andrews

 

Her lovely voice raised to the sky

 in “Sound of Music” and that’s why

we all then knew what she could do.

 Fans took to her like Elmer’s glue.

 

In “Mary Poppins” she was great.

Motion pictures became her fate.

And besides singing, she could dance.

How about acting? She took the chance.

 

Now we love her and her career.

      A treasure she is – one so dear!
