Memories playing tricks




God Never Saved The Girls For Gilbert Roland by M.A.Meddings

Once I believed in Fairy tales
When I was a boy
And Robin Hood  alway won
So did Tim Mcoy
And who would ever dare
Challenge
The very steps
Of Rogers and Astaire
There romantic twists and turns
Seemingly effort less

It simply  was not  done
Not  just like that
The good guys always won
The babes like Patricia Madina
By god you should have seen her
In the film with Cornel Wilde
But a funny thing is
In fact its quite a fizz
You never saw any 'humping'
You just had to imagine it

And please tell me when
it became fashionable
To allow a little twirp
Like Audy Murphy
To Get all the chics
With out too many tricks 
But boy could he twirl those barrels
Wear cowboy apparels
With chaps and a big hat
The little prat

 

God never saved the girls
For Gilbert Roland

I love this! And I remember a few Gilbert Roland films where he got the girl. Yes, I am old enough to remember them. I loved Audy Murphy I think he was about 5'6" but cute. And he was a true hero, most decorated American in WWII I believe, so that proves size doesn't matter. I remember all the stars you mentioned and I love them.That's when movies were great and our imaginations had an opportunity to do a little work, as you said. This poem is like popcorn, you can't eat just one! I want more!

This is wonderful Hero. I loved seeing those people walk or dance or prance through my mind as I read this. I don't know who Gilbert Roland is. I know who Gilbert Grape (a character played by my fantasy boyfriend, Johnny Depp lol) but the other Gilbert just doesn't spark a memory. Please enlighten this yankee woman. : )
