144 For Paul (9/27)


His life ran along parallel to mine and I shall miss him.


FOR PAUL 

Your blue eyes smiled disarmingly

Down from the silver screen;

The bluest and most charming eyes

 The world has ever seen.

You were sex-appeal personified,

Allied to a god-like grace.

This dumpy addict spent her time

Gazing at your face.

Yet all's not lost, you still inspire,

And we compensate ourselves

When we see you smiling down on us

From our supermarket shelves.

Fame, good-looks, great acting skill....

They were yours and they are gone,

But your efforts for the poor and weak

Will forever linger on.

Ah, one of my first loves ... and a man who deserved to be admired. Hollywood needs more stars like this.

It's a shame you can't send that to his widow, I bet she would love it.
