Myrna Loy

The "perfect" screen wife, Myrna Loy

The dream of both Thin Man and boy
She's charming and witty
and...perfectly pretty
Her deft repartee is a joy

Before she was typed as a wife

she lived an exotic screen life

As Asian and vamp

she flirted with camp

Her gypsy caused marital strife

As Nora, with Asta and Nick
her wit was both wicked and quick
Her banter as sly
as Martini’s were dry
The tub-full they drank did the trick
