Notes About The Poem

The Dick Van Dyke Show' Changed Television as We Know It

Aka Robert Petrie

aka Robert Petrie

The Music Man, starring Dick Van Dyke,
on a Vegas stage being so lifelike,
at the end of the show, he came down to greet fans,
smiles, as he signed my napkin after, shakes my hands.

Wow, you met him!! This charmer of a guy was a big part of my childhood. I think Jim Carrey drew some inspiration from him. Didn't watch "The Dick Van Dyke Show" much, but I was a fan of his movies "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"--which I watched religiously-- when I was about 9 years old or so. What a dancer, too! I still remember his impossible-to-imitate dance from the CCBB song number "Me-Ol' Bamboo" Nice tribute, William!:-)

Thank you, Edward, Brits would critique his Brit-attempt accent from "Mary Poppins" as being the most hilarious by an American. I believe that one of its genres was slated as being a comedy Aloha!
