Jack and His Pledge

When he died he made a pledge and a vow The florist must deliver a rose somehow His wife would be the one to receive this rose So despite his death their love still grows Who was the man to do such a loving thing? An entertainer who was always up for joking He was adored and idolised by so many I'm referring to the legendary Jack Benny Nearly fifty years now since he died and gone Jack had comic timing that was second to none A lovely thing for him to be remembered by No doubt his wife Mary had a tear in her eye
