We recently challenged poets to write a Shakespearean sonnet about Marlon Brando. Submissions were judged for creativity and originality in paying tribute to the late Godfather himself. What more can we say?
He rode on stage a streetcar named Desire
And followed that in 1951
With movie role the same; he didn’t tire
Of screaming STELLA for the fans, for fun.
In On the Waterfront he played a role
Which won an Oscar—wow! The guy was good!
A wild one looking deep into my soul;
If he lived now, he’d fit into the ‘hood.
But then one day he changed the path he took;
Became Don Vito Corleone—fat!
It was a skinny look that he forsook
And many women said “whoa, too much to pat!”
But taken on the whole I guess he’s fab;
A shame that I remember only flab.
