Betty Bacall won Bogart’s heart

Bette Davis was Baby Jane

And Bettie Page; ah, she was naughty and smart

Turned bondage to Craft and fetish to Art

But all three had knocked over an applecart

For delectation and gain

All are gone but all remain.

.

Ted Williams Ted Danson Ted Kennedy too

One hit one kept bar one made scandal

One demonstrates what might testosterone do

When a man burns the hedonist’s candle

One went out a slugger one’s still in the mix

One hung in and passed legislation to fix

The wrongs of the right with their stones and their sticks

So it goes as new parents will dandle

All the babes bills and bliss they can handle.
