A FESTIVAL POEM
By Lalita Rudy



We attended the festival in Tarrytown.

It was a wonderful time, we found.

It centered around actor, Jonathan Frid;

His ladies of Dark Shadows he was amid!

Lara Parker, his Angelique,

A lovely witch, who was unique.

And, of course, Kathryn Leigh Scott, his Josette, his love

Was there to remain his favorite--far above.

And Marie Wallace, who as Megan was a vampire with skill,

And who Barnabas ordered our Willie to kill!

The Phoenix, Laura, Miss Diana Millay,

Barnabas wanted to make sure she did pay!

And Betsy Durkin-Matthes was there as well,

His final Victoria, who with Peter went to dwell.

So surrounded by all of us adoring fans, you see,

This year was an interesting festivity.

So we'll remember Tarrytown, New York, of two thousand seven,

As a time of joy, fun and reminiscent of heaven!
