Oonly Coonect! or Woon't Yoou Be My Oone & Oonly: a Loony Valoontoone

Andy Annie Rooney 
loves Algonquin J. Calhoun. He 
(Sarkozy) loves Carla Bruni.
Loves the boondocks Daniel Boone? 
(Does Cameroon love Rosie Clooney?
Lorna Doone love Lorna Doones.) 

Earthquake McGoon (fame long since flewn)
dislikes Gene Austin, first to croon. He -- 
Spike, Pete 'n' Harry, each a Goon  
love Michael B, who left too soon.
(Ja'far Abdullāh al-Mā'mūn
adored his dad, Caliph Harun.)

Do I love (not to pop immune) 
"Memphis in June"? I love that tune, 
though when I croon it to Estonia's 
elite, 'twould be erroneous 
to label 'em "Estoonians": 
they tend to tip in Kroon. 
(Might someone lend me a doubloon…?
Stop! Sidebars rend my penn'd lampoon.)

Mr. Mullins (known as Moon), he 
of the comical cartoon:
his love for racetrack and saloon
makes a celeb of this buffoon.      

Gen'ral Scott (christen'd Matoon): he 
loves America’s commun-
ity. While Lyman fears Scott's loony,
Scott thinks Lyman's too poltroony.
Their brouhaha's nigh "High Noon"-y. 
More? 'Twas less than opportune.

Big Easy's rag -- Times-Picayune  
hates Ms. Katrina. (Damn typhoon!) 
Its news knells nowt of far Rangoon
nor its monsoon, which leaves sheaves strewn. 

Giulietta nee Masina
playing teeny Gelsomina 
dies unlov'd by Zampano. 
(Note: Tony Quinn’s a phony quoon.)

McCartney's Rocky -- young Raccoon
whom Paul'd call’d, early on, 'Sassoon' --
loves Lil...or Nancy...or Magill --
depending 'ow one 'ears the tune. 

Whom Tommy Tune loves is unknoon.
Vidal Sassoon loves gloves Walloon
and hats of xanthin (not xanthoon).

And what of you, in sandals shoon...? 
Do you love me as I love you 'n'
Howard Zinn -- who loved to zing
the upper classes, massas born
with mouths awash in silver spoons
him...'n' kazooin'...?

Whoomsoever you love, Happy Valoontoone's Day!
