\n90 Long years
\nEntertainment his thing
\nAn eruption of mirth
\nFrom his ardour did bring<\/p>\n
Heartfelt emotion

\nCould work on the boards
\nAnd intelligently
\nBe a real force
\nAt the venues where he
\nDisplayed his briliiance
\nThrough chuckle and glee<\/p>\n

There were never shock tactics
\nHe worked miracles by
\nAttaining a confidence
\nThat did belie
\nThe crude and the violent
\nThe prejudiced who
\nCould not hold a candle
\nTo DOddy my view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
