Roses are Edna

Pray tell, what is the spell

Tell me what is the science

That made someone so swell

As Edna Purviance??

Silent siren of the silver screen

Your marvelous mug in the magazines

In beautiful bliss and in pitiful peril

You acted much better than Virginia Cherrill

As a lover and mother

There were no others

To compete with your beauty

You irascible cutie

So peerless and fearless

No one was left tearless

By Charlot's bien-amie

In films I count as thirty-three.

And wouldn't you dare us

As A Woman of Paris

To have us pining away

Til the end of our days?

Oh Edna Purviance

You've got my compliance

To follow your face

Of wonder and grace

Your orbital eyes

That no men despise

Oh heavenly skin

That knows no sin

As you are untouched by reality

But Edna dear let's make one thing clear

Before I bid adieu

There's something I must tell you

A secret I should speak before next week

My heart is a flutter, I hope I don't stutter

For as I prepare myself to retire

I really love Kathryn McGuire
