| Noo Betty likit the picters She geed there ivvery wikk Ti musicals like The King and I Or great epics like Moby Dick . Jist ony film it wid dee War films wi yon Alan Ladd She swooned aboot romantic eens Aiven some aat made her sad . She hid her favourite film stars Like Cary Grant or Clark Gable She drimt she micht be a duncer Swak as Cyd Charisse or Betty Grable . Swashbucklin movies wi lots o fechtin Wi Burt Lancaster or Errol Flynn Or films aat featured animals Sic as Lassie or Rin Tin Tin . She wisna aat fond o gangster eens Starrin Cagney, Bogart or Herbert Lom Yet the titles o aa iss kin o picter She reeled aff wi some aplomb |
She laached at cartoons by Walt Disney Mickey Moose or yon Donald Duck Enjoyed films aat wir a bit historical Aboot Robin Hood an Friar Tuck . Horror eens made her affa feart O Boris Karloff an Vincent Price Picters like The Mummy’s Hand She thocht nae verra nice . Cowboys and Indians she lappit up Wi Gary Cooper an Big John Wayne She even likit western musicals Far Doris Day wis Calamity Jane . Best o aa she adored the classics Oliver Twist an o coorse Jane Eyre An eens in a wee bit lichter mood Like Pickwick Papers an Vanity Fair . Noo Betty she’s fair growein aul Some picter hooses they’re nae mair Bit Betty myns fine o the nichts Fin gyaan ti the picters wis jist rare |
