Minerva McGonagall is no more!
On Violet Crawley we can’t call
Though Grantham’s pile remains on view
With dialogues which still ring true!
Our Maggie sparkled from young age
In no time made her mark on stage
This star was born with humour sharp
Her sense of timing a fine art!
Acting royalty – whose roles
Thrilled indeed, so many souls;
Proving when you have a gift
Who cares if your name is Smith!
Miss Jean Brodie’s strident tones
As she Spain's Civil War condones
Brought her an Oscar and film fame;
Then a second Oscar* she could claim!
Top of the tree, her name in lights
For countless years she us delights;
Now, though I hear she’s passed away
Her spirit soars through wreathes of grey…
