Timothy Hicks Poet Clerihew

One Last Hooray

Even at the very end
Mel Blanc was still cracking jokes.
It's hard to weep, reading his
tombstone inscription: That's all folks!



NOTE: Mel Blanc did the voices for all the Looney Tune characters.

Manel Gunatillake June 10, 2013 at 10:27 AM i missed you very much dear Tim. i was away from my usual work. still not in full force. This is great. But something I need to know about the back ground of your creation. Hugs manel Timothy Hicks June 11, 2013 at 10:17 AM Manel... nice to see you back! I'm not sure if Looney Tunes was popular in India, but it was a smash hit in America. You might have to be more familiar with the cartoons to understand what i'm getting at...

Poet Tacito June 10, 2013 at 9:24 AM I still remember the art cell done of the Looney Tunes characters in front of his gravestone reflecting. It was such a powerful piece of art. This piece made me smile. Great job! Timothy Hicks June 11, 2013 at 10:15 AM Not familiar with the "art cell". But Looney Tunes will forever be a classic... thanks for always stopping by, my friend!
