A Life in Verse
by Michael Espinoza
Grabbed from her girlhood she gabbed about them.
He recalled them realistically right into manhood.
His books bared his feelings over his beloved mother.
She approved all his works afore any were published--
Oh, if only Margaret Oglivy'd observed his magnum opus!
Devastated at her death the son continued diligently.
With St. Bernard he met beloved boys in the gardens.
Then met their mother and was mesmerized.
The Davieses were darling to dear Uncle Jim.
It pleased him to produce his play called Peter Pan.
Then cancer cruelly killed the parents.
World War One was woeful.
But after, Jim Barrie's boldness bade him hire Beb's beloved wife.
Jim's secretary Cynthia stayed on with him.
Jim's wishes in his will were that
Cynthia should see the royalties
Paid for his non-Peter Pan productions.
Cynthia saw in ensuing years
Disney showcase his crafted cartoon
And the Mary Martin musical.
