Topic: Birthday of Syrill Montalban (April 12)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
(Dedicated to Herv'e Villechaize who died September 4, 1993.)
He starred in Fantasy island with Ricardo Montalban.
Since 1993, people have been sad because he's gone.
It was traumatic when he died.
I wish he hadn't committed suicide.
He was in a lot of pain and he thought that was the only way out.
He thought that suicide would solve his problems but that's something I doubt.
It was a tragic day when he decided to pull that trigger.
He was a little person but in the eyes of his fans, he was much bigger.
