Sam Kinison

(Dedicated to Sam Kinison who died in a car crash on April 10, 1992.)

Kinison was short and he was loud.
When he raised his voice, he'd always draw a crowd.
A teenager was responsible for his death.
I can't believe what the boy said as Kinison took his final breath.
He said "My _______ truck"' that was all he cared about.
Kinison's voice was silenced forever, we would never again hear him shout.
He may have been loud but he had a good heart and he was generous.
He was a very funny man who loved to entertain us.
