Al Jolson fought his way into
The dressing room of the fallen
Plate Spinner; he couldn't
Believe what he had just seen.
Jolson wished him well, and went
On stage early and told the audience
What the doctor told Anthony.
He's be all right, except he would
Need a cane to help him walk.

Berle was livid! A plate spinner stolen
The show, HIS SHOW! A filler act, an obscure
Nobody! The Texaco Service Men were called
On early; The studio audience needed
To be calmed down.
The people in their homes, at bars, or
Where ever they were watching, were
So excited that they did not hear
Uncle Miltie say good night!

To Gracie and George's insistence
He picked up Lily and the kids
And went to N.Y. anyway.
The Saturday night that was he
To retire, George introduced him
On stage, the audience gave
A warm and understanding ovation.

Berle threw a fit, with the script girl
Catching the brunt of it.
She finally had enough and sent
A few to Berle; including
Where he can stick the LIT end of
His cigar.
He pushed people out of his way
To get to his office, where,
As legend has it, he could be heard
On the floor below his office.

When he, Lily and the kids
Were back at home, he took the
Box of plates and stuck them
In the attic, out of sight,
So he would not have them to remind
Him of the reason they were bought.

His assistant helped him pack
The crystal plates. Berle didn't
speak to either one of them.
As he walked out of the studio,
He feels a twinge in his arm.
He drops the box, shattering it's contents.

Charlie Chaplain, now staring in movies,
Hears of his accident,and persuades
Him to move the family out to California.
Lily's all for it, she'll be
Closer to Gracie and Mary.
He becomes a consultant for stuntmen.
Bob Hope asked him to find a
Piece of property for him and his
Wife Deloris. He does and finds out
That stars that were to busy to search
Themselves for property, wanted this services.
Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart were two
Of many satisfied customes.

Lily met him at the hospital, where
The doctor informed them he had a
Mild heart attack, and with
Rest he'll be fine.
That night he wanted to make love
With Lily, it took all her humor and love
To convince him otherwise.
The following morning, with gloves
On, he sifted through the box
Of broken crystal until he found the
One piece he was looking for.
Love Lily
Gracie and George
Mary and Jack.
