“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury
Dame Angela Lansbury in Memoriam
Those big baby blues
Changing their hues
The smile always wide
Never ever, getting tired
Playing whatever part
Given, taken, always smart
Singing, dancing
Sometimes, even romancing
The talent is here forever
Into our hearts tethered
The name never forgotten
Dame Angela Lansbury
We are all still so smitten
The Dame is dead,
But, we still hail,
Long live, our Dame!
“If you make a fool of yourself, you can do it with dignity, without taking your pants down.” William Shatner
Happy 90th Birthday, William Shatner!
O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate
Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong
When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner
Live Long and Prosper!
“I just laugh. Have I got them fooled.” Betty White
Happy 99th Birthday Betty White or Betty White in 99 words (or more)
Humour without too much censure
Work without any kind of complaint
Always feeling happy and having a smile
Lover or nature and all them animals wild
Maybe even a few of us human kind
Bringing laughter and joy for us all
Never the one to take a down fall
Pretty and witty, now even more so
Having learnt lessons during a life long
Many made shows, taking them bows
Leaving us fans in awe and loudly cheering
And always with a sense of a good feeling
What ever the role, our hearts she stole
Therefore written is this small type of an ode
Within some ninety-nine plus rhyme of words
As there is always room for years more!
“A couple of years ago, I was asked, ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ And my answer was ‘That I was very funny.’” Sir Patrick Stewart
Happy 80th Birthday Sir Patrick Stewart!
Totally, a fellow charming
Maybe even somehow warming
When you make us unintentionally laugh
And sometimes, even cry
But, with a voice like that
Sir Pat, in that funky hat!
Maybe a tad, canny as a cat
Who could ever resist
Of being rewarded with a kiss
By a great as fellow
You’re such a helluva
An actor, a Captain and yes, a King
And totally able to sing!
Wishing you a merry, happy and totally great Birthday
And as the cliche goes, if I may
Live Long And Prosper
Oh, Captain of Captains!
“Better to be busy than to be busy worrying” Angela Lansbury
Happy 94th Birthday Dame Angela
Cannot hide
From those gorgeous blue eyes
When I finally spy
My favourite lady
Of the world of theatre
There is nothing shady
Of the dame so extraordinary
There really is no comparing
To any other talent about
Once her voice comes aloud
The magnificence filling the room
As all our viewers soon
Get our dose of her presence
Sharing in her essence
And what better gift
For a fan girl or boy to uplift
Spirits on this day
Of ninety fourth birthday
Live long and prosper Dame Angela!
“You can’t control how other people see you or think of you. But you have to be comfortable with that “Helen Mirren
Happy Birthday, Dame Helen!
The star of everything that matters
Stating this not just for the sake of flatters
The Queen, the Chief Inspector, a tart
Playing them all with very much smart
She is definitely not a prude
When prancing in the nude
Not afraid to speak her mind
Even if it meant to be a little unkind
A naughty word here and there
To make her point, if you weren’t clear
Pure perfection of talent and beauty
Always with the sense of duty
A rose by any other name
Let’s all hail our Dame!
Happy Birthday, William Shatner!
O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate
Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong
When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner
Live Long and Prosper!

“Providing I can put one foot in front of the other, I will continue to act.”
Dame Angela Lansbury
Happy Birthday, Dame Angela!
Our Same of Dames
Surely, even the name explains
Angel, Angela
Dame Angela
You may be siting algebra
Or even the Magna Carta
Your voice a lullaby
Your presence divine
Live Long and Prosper
Dame Angela!

“I’ve never been particularly aware of my age. It’s like being on a bicycle – I just put my foot down and keep going” Angela Lansbury
Fansbury
Her big blue eyes and pouty lips
Taking a stance, with hand on her hips
Singing, dancing, humour and drama
Clapping our hands, shouting ‘brava’
The Dame, in the name, may have lead you to fame
And our fansburiens lives, have never be the same
Dame Angela, may thy name be written across the skies
We’ll stand down here, making high fives

“A couple of years ago, I was asked, ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ And my answer was ‘That I was very funny.’” Sir Patrick Stewart
Happy Birthday Sir Pat!
Totally charming
Maybe even utterly harming
When you make us laugh
And make us cry
With a voice like that
Sir Pat in a hat
Canny as a cat
Who could resist
Of being kissed
By a great fellow
You’re hell of’
An actor, a Captain and a King
And even able to sing!
Wishing you a merry, happy and utterly great Birthday
And as the cliche goes, if I may
“Live Long And Prosper
Oh, Captain of Captains!”
