The Sound of Music fades away
What a memorable screenplay!
Julie Andrews, his co-star
His wedded nun, his kids' new Ma …
Looks back with fondness on Von Trapp;
Christopher Plummer had the knack
Of charming all who caught his gaze
What a proud Wellington he plays!
Suave, polished, cultured, statuesque
A decided cut above the rest
Toronto-born, ace act on stage
Oozing charm on every page,
Has gently bowed out from our lives;
At Ninety-One: shock, sad surprise
But caught on film, for our delight
We can his memory hold tight!
(c) Poet in the woods 2021
A Plummer quote: Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic licence.
Died February 5th, 2021
