Our Prayer

To whom this may concern:
When Glenn Ford, who has brought so much to his craft,
Dies (it seems the end is nigh)
Please, in your infinite mercy --
Ensure that, during the course of his miserable life,
Roger Simon did not, at any point, so much as
Sniff Mr. Ford's chair.
If he has, You know damn well he'll have to brag about it
Under the imprimatur of an obit.


Thank you in advance for your cooperation...
