March 17, 2018 A limerick. I managed to find one that I really liked... though not so fully in keeping with St. Patrick's Day, but that's okay. He died March 3, 1959 at the age of only 52, three days before his 53rd birthday. Tribute To Lou Costello © Neil Published: May 2014 There once was a man called Costello A silly Vaudevillian fellow He expired this day So this tribute we pay To a man who was shaped like a cello He quit high school and moved to L.A. Found some work and decided to stay Soon he carved out a niche With a chance to get rich From the comedy roles he could play He teamed up with a comic named Bud Who up until then was a dud They created some skits With their wiles and their wits That were funny, just like Elmer Fudd "Who's on First" was a great bit of jest That many still think was the best That has ever been done In the annals of fun And can still make us laugh when we're stressed Lou Costello showed wonder and glee When we saw him each week on TV With his deviant mind He was one of a kind Such a jolly good fellow was he Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/tribute-to-lou-costello I used to love watching Abbott and Costello skits. I love his voice and his antics. Comedy at its best. And to mess with your mind.... some Costello math: Hope this gives you some laughter today! ** Image ID #1855238 Unavailable ** |
