To Robin, With Love

You were my dude,

the funniest thing alive.

You started as an alien when I had younger eyes.

You were kind,

and sweet as we could tell.

all you dealt with, you wasn't well.

You strive to be the very best,

you kept us laughing and crying,

all along planning on dying.

You dressed as a woman in MRS. DOUBTFIRE,

which is one of my favorite movies.

You woke up vietnam and drove a crazy RV.

You created FLUBBER, JACK!

You put a HOOK in THE FINAL CUT.

That was THE BEST OF TIMES when GARP grew up.

You were like HAMLET when PATCH ADAMS

became THE MAN OF THE YEAR.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME brought us all to tears.

You being the WORLD'S GREATEST DAD gave us THE BUTLER

for THE BIG WEDDING plans.

And being LICENSE TO WED put us in THE FACE OF LOVE,

with the BICENTENNIAL MAN.

THE BIRD CAGE made THE NIGHT LISTENER,

AWAKENINGS too much for the HOUSE OF D.

POPEYE the sailor man was nothing compared to JUMANJI.

I could go on and on about my dude

and the legacy he left behind.

But I think I will leave it as is,

So you can remember the rest in your mind.
