John Candy - Comedian At Heart
All the way from Ontario to Hollywood,
was one of the greatest comedians to live.
On a small stage at Second City he stood,
making the world laugh was all he could give.
Held his head up high with his pants too tight,
but I sure loved watching HBO on Friday night.
Was it hard being Barf in Spaceballs by Brooks?
I bet being Uncle Buck was rough on the kids-
The best part about his comedy is how he hooks
you in like fishing line when poor weather forbids.
Del Griffith and Neal Page spend time in automobiles,
planes, trains and cars with barely any wheels!
John Candy was more than what the eye met
and-
I’ll never forget my favorite character Chet!
