You dressed up like a woman You made me laugh with your standup comedy You yelled "Good Morning Vietnam!" You were Mork You told lies that gave people hope in Jacob the Liar You were an inspiring teacher in Dead Poets Society You poked fun at politics in Man of the Year You showed the importance of laughter and kindness in Patch Adams You left us almost two weeks ago You were becoming ill You have a song called The Grim Rapper Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever in a day We'd live a life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way

About this poem:
Just missing Robin Williams and all the new comedy he could have made in the future, there is certainly plenty of good work to choose from. He is definitely one of the best funny men of our times.
Hi, mcradloff, "Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end" and, yet, sadly, they did for him and, consequently, have for us. Such a great loss. Thank you for sharing these thoughts on Robin Williams.
Girlygirl196349, thanks for your comment. I am still watching him in his movies, but have to wait awhile for my Netflix as his movies are really popular right now.

I really liked him.
