Saluting with misty eyes

Another star shines brightly in the sky
This evening as we lay our weary heads
Upon our beds of temporary repose
Born out of the harshness of war
The old “I survived Guadalcanal
Started using my wife’s last name
Moved on to comedy
And went on to become a huge star” trick.
Never quite as famous
Always just as good
Yet through it all
Tennessee Tuxedo did not fail
In his quest to keep us crying
With tears of laughter
From the stupidity of his genius
“Go, go gadget funny bone”
Wowzers, that was class stuff
Where we would sit transfixed week after week
Listening to the same old lines
And Loving It
Don’t tell me the talent is gone
(the talent is gone)
I asked you not to tell me that
So, we’ll raise our glasses
Tell our tales
And bid you ever lovingly
A fond farewell

RIP Don Adams 9/25/05
"Sorry about that, Chief"

OK, guys, I tried to make this a fitting tribute to the passing of Don Adams (Get Smart, Tennessee Tuxedo, Inspector Gadget, many others), however I think I "missed it by that much". All of the catch phrases used are the property of whomever the heck it was that wrote them, and I thank each and every one of the writers involved for enriching my life.

When all is said
All is done
Still I live
And carry on-
Quiet Riot
