Joe Besser

This wonderful man was a stooge many years ago.
He starred in the Three Stooges and his name was Joe.
Joe didn't like to be hit by fists or with pies.
He was a great comedian and that's no lie.
Sadly he died in March of 1988.
A date that his fans would hate.
He outlived Moe and Larry by thirteen years.
People laughed every time he appeared.
He may be dead but he can never be replaced.
This funny man was a credit to the human race.

(DEDICATED TO JOE BESSER WHO DIED MARCH 1, 1988.)
