Leslie Neilson- Laughs, Knee Slaps and Good For the Soul Eyerolls

Leslie Neilson
Straight faced reveals a pun
But what surely made him squirrely
They wouldn't stop calling him Shirley

Leslie Neilson
Armed with wit and naked gun
Genius buffoonery unparalleled
Save for what Peter Seller's Clueso upheld

Leslie Neilson
Dracula loving it as a dead one
Giving Renfield insect currency
And causing Mel brooks an emeRRRgency

Leslie Neilson
A parody on the run
Of spoofery not wrongfully accused
Only keeping us hysterically amused


Hope you know your Leslie Neilson movies for clearance, Clarence. 
Roger, Roger.
