It's not often remembered that Fess Parker was a capital poet as well as a great actor. His "Coonskin Coat and other Poems" is now out of print but is to be reissued soon..
"I have a lovely winter coat,
Its collar's made of coon,
I love to clutch it to my throat
And howl at the winter moon."
etc.

PS: Fess had a great-aunt named Dorothy Parker, but she only wrote light verse.
