Heaven's Comedian

God called on the 9th of August, Right on Bernie’s golden age. To lead him to the heavens, For standup on the grandest stage. Bernie’s routine was colossal, For God created the best. When God needed His comic, He laid Bernie’s soul to rest. God called that weary morning, And summoned America’s comedian. He granted a divine promotion, In becoming heaven’s comedian.
