Poem Artwork

  

Holy spirit came down

Jesus Christ was born

It is  fun energy which  took form

When Gene Wilder was born

 

 

Comedian Gene Wilder

Star  Willy Wonka

Frizzy haired actor

Had eyes startling blue  

 

 

In our hearts  now we carry

 All his roles so many

 

 

 

A comic genius he

A nice human being be

With wild curls and eyes lively  

How kids   loved him dearly

 

Willy Wonka Gene Wilder

His sitcom Something wilder

Will stay in hearts forever

 

 

“ My quiet exterior be

 A mask for hysteria” said he

 He battled  ill health furiously

  Played his roles seriously

 

To bring  joy,fun and laughter

For big and small alike

He was all of that and I'm sure Gilda met him in the "Light."

Always,

I'm sure Gene would appreciate this fine tribute. He was such a funny, funny man. And so was Gilda. Their comic genius was rare and will remain in our hearts forever. Rest well, Gene.

Yes, we are forever indebted to both Gene and Gilda for their unique comic styles, although cut short, will remain with us forever, thanks to video of their performances.

That wild-eyed look that Gene was known for branded him forever in my mind.

Whenever I get on the wrong track, I stop for a moment and think of Emily Latilda. And then I say, "Nevermind."

No doubt about it, Gene Wilder was a kind and caring human being, and a comedic genius. He was matched in both areas by his brilliant wife, Gilda Radner, who raised the level of humor on SNL to a new level. RIP to them both. Thanks for your fine tribute, JK.

So many of us will long remember this wonderful person. He was a one in a million actor. Your sentiment is beautiful!

Love ya!

Jane
