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! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *15 lines total in this poem *Movie references: 1.) Spaceballs (Barf) 2.) Uncle Buck (Buck Russell) 3.) Planes, Trains and Automobiles (Del Griffith 4.) The Great Outdoors (Chester “Chet” Ripley) Date: September 10, 2019 MY UPCOMING BIRTHDAY (09-03) CELEBRITY Any Form Cash Prize Poetry Contest Sponsor: William Kekaula ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All favorite movies of mine and John was bigger than life. I watched one of the Home Alones a few weekends ago and he was a polka band leader, funny as could be. There was something very special about him, we lost him too soon. Loved your poem Lu Loo

so true, I was so upset when he died. I was 16. We were robbed of him and he was robbed of life. Thank you dear friend:)-luloo
