Father Ted

You starred in a British sitcom called Father Ted.
It is extremely sad because now you are dead.
You were successful and things were going great.
But then a tragedy occurred when you died in 1998.
You were taken far too soon, you were only forty-five.
The world would be a better place if you had survived.
You excelled at acting and you were a teacher too.
You were an awesome Irish man and people loved you.

(DEDICATED TO DERMOT MORGAN WHO DIED FEBRUARY 28, 1998.)
