Scarlett!

SCARLETT!

Not the original Scarlett, I know.

Nor is this Rhett the original beau.

But they are so perfectly romantic,

We can't spoil the mood by being pedantic!

Clark Gable wasn't a patch on this

Gorgeous man who's about to kiss

A girl whose luminosity

Knocks spots off that old Vivien Leigh!

Clark Gable, they say, had very bad breath!

And Vivien's mewing bored me to death.

I know the purists will shout me down;

They may even ride me out of town.

But I have to say the couple above

Seem the epitome of LOVE!

Who they are I haven't a notion

But, my, can they express emotion!

In my next life I'll scorn a tiara!

I'd rather come back as Scarlett O'Hara!
