Please, tell me why . . . woodpeckers,
Suddenly appear,
Every time, I am near,
Simply said,
They like to peck,
On my head.
On the day that I was born,
The angels got together,
And decided that a dream would never do,
So they sprinkled sardines on my head,
And some roses that are really dead,
And a sleeping bag,
With Bean and Onslow too.
That is why, all the birds in town,
Peck my head, up and down,
Just like that,
I need a hat,
How about,
You?

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.]
