Kirk Douglas
Today we heard we lost Kirk
Who never needed a shirt
Always a lovely flirt that Kirk
Joining Moses in heaven
Who we watched in the movie way past eleven
Hopefully God enjoyed their sound stage cheese
and now he is at peace
Yes, we lost Kirk
that lovely flirt
Robert Conrad
We say good night to Robert Conrad
Who looked good when being mad
He had the right stuff being tough
On the smaller screen
Which was clean
Tough stories that made him look peachy keen
Standing strong
Righting wrong
Good night Robert Conrad

This American icon does quite well
Known far and wide as the Hilton Hotel --
Bernie Sanders just bought in
Why is he sporting a grin? --
It's now named "Comrade Hilton." What the hell?!

As a child you lost your parents and family wealth
by the decree of the Russian Tsar.
You barely remembered your mother teaching you French.
You were noble, aristocratic Polish child.
Your father Apollo, a poet and a writer,
was your first teacher of English.
He composed a poem to commemorate your birth.
Accepting truth you reconciled tragic past.
In youth you went sailing on the merchant ships
and became philosophical man,
learned in distant adventures,
searching for life with a moral sense.
You always despised the lie
in every day life,
distant and metaphysical –
in your rhythmic, poetic prose.
