Bob and Bing

 
Bob Hope, at birth Leslie Towns, died at one hundred and his life was an interlope; admired for his comedic timing, facial expressions, and a great one liner, the "road" movies with his pal Bing- for comedy there are none finer ! Bing Crosby at birth Harry Lillis, this man so funny and never ever sang off key, he did so many things before he died at seventy-two, some with Bob his friend accomplished much and it is said he was the most admired man to his very end __________________ September 29, 2021 Poetry/Clerihew/Bob and Bing Copyright Protected, ID 09-1391-891-29 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Clerihew 2 sponsor, Joseph May, Judged 10/29/2021 First Place

Lindsay, thanks for the visit, I read that most of the their old movies along with many other old movies were destroyed in a fire at Universal around 1988, I think, that is so sad but some movies survived somehow, some of the road movies and I have seen them, and they are great, I love that sort of comedy ~ love and serenity _Constance

Well said, but they were polar opposites as husbands and fathers . . . .
