A poem for Art Carney and his character Ed Norton.
How are things down in the sewer? My father shuddered with laughter as that long, ungainly arm reached into an archiac icebox emerging with a flailing drumstick-- All his schemes those madcap stabs at so many American Dreams. Those comic Brooklyn catcalls from an exotic, unseen fire escape. The weekly strange, antic dance with his corpulent pal And I wonder late at night who can we really laugh at...now? * published in James River Poetry Review

i remember watching art carney on jackie gleason; he will definitely be missed. a wonderful tribute to a special and talented man! he always made me laugh, and he was never vulgar about it. that was what i liked about him, and also jackie gleason (jackie reminded me a lot of my daddy in a lot of ways!) and bob hope; three great comic legends who could entertain without being disgusting! (((HUGS))) and love, your friend in texas, karen lynn. :(
