Plush Friends

2/17
This Aussie can really play
She dribbles the ball around all day
Silver at the last Paralympics
That #15 is full of tricks

4/15
In a show about a show
That was named for a building, not a geode,
This big guy was in an entourage
This actor's height is no mirage

4/21
With several Tonys to her name
This actress would grace a hall of fame
And just like all the other pros
One Tony is for Mama Rose

6/?
A steadier friend you never knew
Always faithful through and through
This man seemed on the right track
Until he stabbed Caesar in the back

6/25
He came over from Italy
And joined the Latter Day ministry
He went right back to his home country
The first man there to spread this creed

8/2
This girl is from the Treasure State
She had dreams to be a Miss America great
But 2010 was not her time
She was still before her prime

8/6
Exploring the south of Down Under
He found things of endless wonder
His father conceived of a difference engine
What a world would that have been!

8/14
Though there may be some taller
This man was quite the baller
He was inspiring, you'll agree
Playing even with HIV

9/26
Want to know why he is cool?
He went to an American school
The first black man to earn a degree
He built a granite dormitory
