GEOFF: A Whet Pirouette Poem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
furry, spry squirrel, Geoff
Chaucer he doth channel
"Come and 'whet thine whistle'."
"Poof! abracadabra!"
Really?
Now Georgie,
you're silly!
be smiley,
beguilely!

Adore my goldfish
Swimming happily so sweet
Wavy gorgeous fins
Two intent amorous eyes
My aquatic treat

Your yen two wol slee me sodenly
Surrounded by warm sand
Black pools deep as the
Cold in your face
Your hand
With emollient grace
Will cut the wire
Carved then polished
Hair that twists as
In a Spring flood
Your two eyes will slay me suddenly

He was a marvelous British actor but his life was something he would lose.
He starred in an episode of Doctor Who and his name was Geoffrey Hughes.
He starred in Keeping Up Appearances as Onslow.
Millions of people were sorry to see this man go.
From 1974 to 1983, he starred in Coronation Street.
And from 2001 to 2005, he starred as a rogue in Heartbeat.
When he tried to beat Prostate Cancer, he failed in his endeavour.
He was brilliant and much loved and he'll be remembered forever.
[Dedicated to Geoffrey Hughes (1944-2012) who died July 27, 2012.]
