In Memory of Andy Griffith
In Memory of Andy Griffith
By Elton Camp
It's bad news that we received today
The actor Andy Griffith passed away
For decades he's kept us entertained
As Sheriff Taylor he has remained
The passing years have passed on by
Old age came and Andy had to die
It was as Matlock that I liked him best
Not with Bee, Opie, Barney & the rest
Mayberry was a town just far too sweet
To some, that fantasy world can't be beat
But one of his best roles that I ever saw
He played an insane, murderous grandpa
That he could play roles so diverse
Makes me miss him all the worse
