But Catwoman captured her

And held her six children...

Got yourself some new wheels, huh?
I can hear the squeals of rubber burning
I cough exhaust…left behind, oh gosh! I’m holding just a pile of dented fenders…
suspended… Your bucks spent. Engine Red..that foreign bred truck! 
Snap, crackle and Popular Mechanic…Look at the maniac go….! 
Holy, Moly….must...

You starred on Hee Haw and the Andy Griffith Show.
You were talented and people hated to see you go.
You continued to star as Goober on Mayberry R.F.D.
Sadly you passed away at the age of eighty-three.
People loved to see you act, that much is clear.
You were...

Famous poet Barclay Cruse
curent toast of New York salons
wears tinted glasses and Italian shoes
and composes doggerel for subway johns.

Acclaimed a purist by his colleagues
hard-edge painter Geoffrey Pyle

covert commissions from Armstrong Tile.

    Just Ask Gomer Pyle ...
' Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner ? '

Jim Nabors always said "Shazam", that was his catchphrase.
Because of his contributions to television, he deserves praise.
It was hard for him to watch the opening credits of Gomer Pyle because many of those Marines died in Vietnam.
We always know that he's on Gomer Pyle or...

(This is a fictional poem)

I'm going to be in this hospital for awhile.
I spiked a watermelon like Sergeant Carter did on Gomer Pyle.
I filled the watermelon with vodka and gave it to my obnoxious friend.
He gave it to his seven feet five brother and my...

(Dedicated to Frank Sutton who died June 28, 1974. He starred as sergeant 
Carter.)

Back in the sixties you starred in Gomer Pyle.
Jim nabors quite often got you riled.
Those shows were funny and nifty.
You were far too young when you died at fifty.
You had a temper...

Only the Real OG's will remember. 
All of these old movies are from back in the day.
Some of you will remember and some of you won't have a clue of what I am talking about.

Tears a falling
sine you left
makes my heart
do flip flops,
knowing that
I will never see
you again
so think
I will go
fine someone
else for
a while,
or go watch
Gomer Pyle
and have a
laugh or two.
