Mario Druthers and Doogie



Birthdays today cover several fields

Politics, Country and Pop are the yield

As well as one or two actors known well

Quite popular ones, and all ... to hear tell



The former governor of New York heads the list

The Democrat who promised more taxes if picked

Which nobody did ... preferring the Republican ...

A lesson taught Mario Cuomo ... that it had to end



And Waylon Jennings ... one of Country's best

Along with Nelson and Kristofferson - who attest

To a friendship amongst the three who've captured

Fans across the imaginary musical lines shattered



Which Steve Walsh has done with his Kansas 

Merging Rock, Country, and Classical standards 

And Air Supply's Russell Hitchcock has also sat

Upon the fence between Pop and some other hats



A neat trick which Jim Belushi has also embellished

With his comedy and straight acting of some merit

Which Neil Patrick Harris has also done after Doogie

Showing a feeling for both in several of his movies



As has Shakespeare in Love's Simon Callow ... 

An actor and director ... and a versatile fellow

And actress Helen Hunt - who wows the guys

In a simple television sitcom with a loving guise



And Julie Hagerty - who made Airplane rock

With a simplistic approach amongst the knocks

And Courteney Cox ... just one of a few Friends

Who makes it seem as tho friendship never ends

  

... and - on that note ... THIS shall end ...



- Tristram
