Suddenly got a "heads up!"

Here lies Sir Sidney C. Hall
Bald as a baby caused he mowed it
Knighted by the asylum matron, “The Mad Poet”
Considered by many as being funny

Here lies incomparable, trailblazer Sir Sidney Poitier
In the pantheon of Hollywood legends, he's at top tier
With 1963 Best Actor Oscar win, he made history;
First Black actor, and black folks reveled in his victory

Two stars of a former age
they were a class of their own
superlatives cover them all over
bound for stardom before been known
