Mister Trump had been taking Demerol
But he collapsed after 'building the wall'
Delusions of grandeur
Left him iron-poor
His doctor said, "Switch fast to Geritol!"
When this man died, we suffered a big loss.
The man who I'm speaking of was Bob Ross.
We all loved this fantastic painter who had skill.
Some watched him because his voice was tranquil.
A man once said that listening to Bob's voice was like taking Demerol.
When he died so young, people were both saddened and appalled.
On the day of his death, the world had a day that was black.
He was taken from us too soon and sadly he won't be back.
(DEDICATED TO BOB ROSS WHO DIED JULY 4, 1995.)
