This British actress – so well-known
Who made America her home,
Both as a singer and on stage;
Although she never made front page
Of glitzy magazines and such,
Angela had the human touch;
An almost-twin of our dear Queen
Proud Dame* – admired on silver screen!
Her friendly voice and cheerful style,
For years her public would beguile
As intrepid on her bike, she strove
To right all wrongs in Cabot Cove!**
Smartly, but discreetly dressed,
‘Jessica Fletcher’ came off best
When seeking new plots for her books
And deftly thwarting many crooks!
Long scheduled days were spent on set
As audiences could never get
Enough of her bright innovation:
‘Miss Marple’ in Stateside creation!
Dying peacefully in her sleep
The entertainment world looks bleak …
But as warm tributes flood the Net
She lives on – we shan’t forget!

* made a Dame by the Queen in 2014, she died on October 11th, 2022.
** in the TV series " Murder, she wrote" which ran from 1984-1996
