Don't call me Shirley

a short tribute poem to actor Leslie Neilson who passed 11/28/2010. gonna miss you man.

 

Don't call me Shirley (tribute to Leslie Nielson 11/28/2010)

sometimes you made me laugh so hard I cried

and a tear did fall when I learned that you died

a doctor with a growing nose in that crazy Airplane

we have to get this person to a hospital in words so plain

what is it a passenger inquires so sincere

a building with patients you made it clear

and when Priscilla climbed that ladder in the study

without even sneaking an up skirt glance

nice beaver was your comment nearly killed me buddy

one could only imagine she wasn't wearing pants

thanks I just had it stuffed was her retort

had to hit the pause and then restart

and the blinded detective with the Naked Gun

back when OJ was still a media prince

you and George kept those bad guys on the run

hasn't been a comic duo that good since

you left us all behind way way too early

just one more time "Dont call me Shirley"
