The 50th Anniversary of Jack Benny's Death

The 50th Anniversary of Jack Benny's Death

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

DEDICATED TO JACK BENNY (1894-1974) WHO DIED FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY ON DECEMBER 26, 1974.

"
He brought laughter and he was important to many.
He died 50 years ago and his name was Jack Benny.
Mel Blanc appeared quite often on Jack's show.
At the age of eighty, it was Benny's time to go.
If Jack had died one day earlier, he would've died on Christmas Day.
He was a very talented individual who died half a century ago today. 
Jack was an actor and it's an actor's job to pretend.
He went into a coma before he died and it was sad because it was the end.
