Judy Garland
Judy Garland was always full of magic.
And it is sad that she lived a life so tragic.
She could act and and she could surely sing.
Then joy and delight she would bring.
We all know she had a wondrous voice.
To hear it now may make us all rejoice.
And with such great talent she was blessed,
From The Wizard of Oz is perhaps known best.
By MGM she was promptly bought,
But with many troubles she became fraught.
While they tried to stop her gaining weight,
They rebuked her when she turned up late.
In a downward spiral she was caught,
And sadly her life then became cut short.
But now all over she is greatly treasured,
And with none other can be measured.

A great talent that endures. My own favourite remains her
performance in "Meet Me In St Louis" - and her heartbreaking
interpretation of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
