Film Stars In Heaven

Rudolph Valentino sat on a couch with smoky eyes,
the angels swooned, flapped and gave audible sighs,
Steve McQueen spun a football against a blank wall,
wondering how to escape from no barriers at all.

Jayne Mansfield tried to dispel rumours, so to delete,
it wasn't true that her head was found on a passenger seat,
Richard Burton said: 'Don't worry, you're united with it now,
although us spirits can't really make sense of it all.

Tony Curtis regretted not having the fancy haircut,
with all those girls he chased, angels may kick his butt,
Marilyn Monroe finally put the record books straight,
they murdered me, too much to say, heaven couldn't wait.

Rock Hudson loitered over a picture of Cary Grant,
heaven may be transitory but he always was itinerant.
