Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

David Jones

Millions would tune in on the tube Monday night.
To countless sixties teenyboppers, you were a delight.
With Mickey, Mike, and Peter, you were in funny situations.
We still watch you in reruns after a couple of generations.
Not only did you have a fine voice for singing,
many considered you very versatile for acting.
What a fine career you had is what many will say.
We will miss you now that you have gone away.

David Jones 1945-2012
