late at night


by horace p sternwall



as the rain rattled on the roof
sidney greenstreet offered proof
to the officer at the station
of his sincere reformation

as the detective waked away
rosalind russell heard him say
these hoodlums before dawn
will lay lifeless on the lawn

cary grant had another plan
it was to confront the man
who had designed the whole frame
and say he knew his real name


but adolphe menjou
would never know who
made the last phone call
and left the message on the wall

after poor claude rains
went to such pains
to include the younger generation
in his address to the nation
