When seeking peace in normal life
where can we go now?
In living sans turmoil and strife
ol' Andy showed us how
Another childhood icon gone
Mayberry flags fly at half mast
in mourning for their favorite son
who this morning slipped into the past
Should we need a lawyer's skill
we'll have to look elsewhere
Mattlock's buried on yon hill
no more objections to declare
Never heard a scandalous story
a humble man who had not much to say
now on his way to final glory
Andy Griffith passed away today

Hi Mark
It may be that he had most fooled but he seemed to me to be an actor who didn't "go Hollywood"....................stan
I remember him,
I remember him well, nice poem . Regards Roscoe..
hi Roscoe
I expect his shows will be shown for years to come as they displayed the world in simple black and white.........stan
