Funeral For a Comic

A funeral was held today, Joan Rivers laid to rest, Attracting many A-list names With those who knew her best. The eulogies were filled with jokes, Evoking grins and smiles. It's rare at funerals to find Folks laughing in the aisles. It's just the type of send-off She most likely would have planned - The audience attentive, Not a chance of getting panned. At a service for a comic Somber sobbing disappears, For there's bound to be some laughter Intermingled with the tears.

I can't believe they're really gone. Her and Robin have now moved on. They leave such holes that can't be filled. But their joy inside us won't be killed.

oh, did they televise any of it? I would love to have been there. I really admired this woman and was sad to hear she passed away. I expected her to last much longer. Did you hear what was the thing that killed her? Good poem, Ilene?
