A classic E.J Thribb poem:

Lines on the Death of Chairman Mao

So.
Farewell then
Chairman Mao.

You are the
Last of the
Great revolutionary

Figures. You
And I
Had little in
Common

Except that
Like me
You were a poet.

Though how you
Found time
To write poems

In addition to
Running a
Country of
800 million people

Is baffling
Frankly.

In Memoriam Jack Lemmon

So. Farewell
Then
Jack Lemmon.

Hollywood comedian
And much-loved
Star of
Some Like It Hot.

Yes. That was your
Most famous film.

And, at the
Time of writing,
It is very hot indeed.

Some may
Like it but
I do not.
