A Trio of Tinkertings with Tara in Dactyls or Munnerlyn on My Mind

Gone with the
Wind! Who’s a
mav’rick may
find it pro-
nounced by some
bumpkins as
‘Gone with the
Wynde’ -- as the
phrase is, in
Cole’s Kiss Me
Kate (though there’s
data to
show that show’s
heard mispro-
nounced ‘Kiss Me
Kayta.’)

Perfect per-

formance as
Scarlett by
Vivien
prompts the A-
cademy’s
members to
give V an
Oscar. (In
whiche’er flick
Leigh’s next en-
deavor be,
ought she cry,
“Hungry a-
gain I will
never be!”…?)

Diss’d as a

harlot by
Pinkerton
(varlet!), this
missy play’d
Prissy to
Vivien’s
Scarlett. (This
riddle’s a
riff on one
Thelma, a
starlet who
said of re-
ligion, “Moi…?
Je ne pas
parle it.”)*
