Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Resentful Cary

Cary Grant was a movie star
Who analogized Hollywood
Being like a moving streetcar.
He held on as best as he could,
Watching others get off and on.
Some managed to get on and stay.
Some were pushed off and were just gone.
Grant got a seat along the way,
But said he gave it up to her,
To Joan Fontaine, his costar in
"Suspicion." Grant had to endure
Being out of joint - his cleft chin.

Joan won an Oscar for her role.
Cary lost and carried that toll.
