Young Robert Mitchum
just couldn't ditch 'em
His party down the toilet
when cops came to spoil it
When he then faced the judge
the law wouldn't budge
Sixty days he got
for possession of pot

ROBERT MITCHUM-----7/1/97
JIMMY STEWART-----7/2/97
CHARLES KURALT------7/4/97
On lifes long road, who knows where are the ends
and when the ones we love leave us alone
what words express the loss of dearest friends
held oh! so dear, whom all the world has known?
Was this their highway junction to all time?
Our grief would be too great for only one,
and three together taken, shouldn't rhyme
but brings reality now that they're gone.
Out on the road, with Charlie, Bob and Jim,
we see ourselves in all they've ever done,
as memories, some bright and others grim,
from reel to reel, and love them every one.
They told our stories, every one was real,
as if they knew exactly how we feel.
God Speed, My Friends

(Dedicated to Robert Mitchum who died July 1, 1997.)
You were a gifted actor but sadly you're no longer here.
You were a tough guy actor and your contribution improved Cape Fear.
You starred in another movie that I enjoyed but I don't remember what the title
was.
In it, you and your sons were running from the fuzz.
Since you died, Hollywood hasn't been the same.
I'm glad that you had fortune and fame.
