Frank Beard  

Didn’t have a beard  

But the Sharp Dressed Man  

Goes in the can. 

Come here...  

And I’ll tell you about Jimmy Cricket,  

But there isn’t any more,  

As he’s bought a one-way ticket. 

He was one of The Goodies  

Who were everyone’s buddies  

But now Bill Oddie  

Is a body. 

Time to bury  

Another body.  

Farewell, you Goody,  

Bill Oddie. 

She may once have had  

A total eclipse of the heart  

But from us Bonnie Tyler  

Has had to depart. 

It’s quite a kick in the teeth  

For fans of Penelope Keith  

But she was a good wife  

And had a good life. 

I won’t write a preamble  

To a poem for Phil Campbell  

’Cos the guitarist for Motorhead  

Simply is dead. 

I didn’t even know  

Scott Adams was ill, but  

Gone is the cartoon creator  

Of Dilbert. 

Deadheads mourn  

The loss of Bob Weir  

Who sadly is  

No longer here.
