Ode to Christmas Carol

A legend left the building, the sad news came

And we will all move on but it won’t be the same

If you called her a legend she’d probably laugh

Maybe fawn for the camera offer an autograph

She wasn’t searching for a spotlight for her face

Rather for the earth, pay attention to what we can’t replace

Or the poor who have no money for shelter or a meal

Causes caught Christmas Carol, sincerity you could feel

From my home in Milwaukee, to London, Africa and abroad

She shared tears for suffering, and every triumph she’d

Shared a story and it made you laugh, she was such a gas

Memories that I love to bring back, I know they’ll always

I’m proud to say I was a friend of hers, and her show I’ll

Every Tuesday when I start I remember “Just Do It, Hit It

Rest In Peace Carol

Nah, Raise a little hell girlfriend!
