Without Words

Atlanta's Oliver Hardy so pretentious and somewhat lardy, had a sidekick,bungling,but thin both silently,still bring a grin Tribute to Laurel & Hardy-who proved humour needs no words and does not date

This poem is outstanding. I remember those segments and the old time wooden TV box with the antennas. We watched and laughed until our sides ached. Excellent.

This tribute makes me cheer for those bumbling gents, that could make me laugh at all their predicaments....pushing a piano up a flight of stairs, or whatever it was, was a memorable experience that I'll never forget!! ( "Another fine fix you've got us in to, Stanley") I still smile thinking of these two genius comedians in action!! A great tribute!!
