Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Rip Jerry Lewis

The laughter and joy

This man did imbue us

Is vast beyond measure,

Our Dear Jerry Lewis ...

Oh, hearken the birds

Their new song of sorrow

For now we know why

Sol goes dark tomorrow.

What a delightful piece this poem truly is! Great Work!! Gregory Richard Barden August 21, 2017 at 5:32 AM Thank you, Russel, that's very kind of you, My Friend ... he brought a lot of joy and healing to this world. He was far from perfect, but he worked hard to make this world a better place. Very sad to lose him. Blessings to you!

Cheryl Hoffman August 20, 2017 at 8:33 PM Some of my favorite movies of his were, "Cinderfella", "The Disorderly Orderly" and the "Nutty Professor;" also loved to watch him on the MDA telethons…he will be missed! Very nice tribute Greg!~Che :) Gregory Richard Barden August 20, 2017 at 8:53 PM Those are my favs, too, Cheryl ... brilliant and kind man. So sad. <3

Andrea Dietrich August 20, 2017 at 5:24 PM gosh, I don't listen to the news much. Did he just die very recently? He stayed around by doing so much good with his telethons. They don't make them like his kind any more. Great tribute! Gregory Richard Barden August 20, 2017 at 8:51 PM Thanks, Andrea - yes, he died this morning.
