Tribute To A Prodigious Liver (Keith Floyd)

Britains first celebrity chef and most prodigious drinker died yesterday. Here is a tribute in verse

Keith Floyd
enjoyed
the finest things in life.
Let’s not pretend,
in the end
his lifestyle gave him grief.

Keith Floyd
employed
his drinking arm too freely,
his cooking skills
and frequent spills
entertained the corpus vile

Keith Floyd
destroyed
his business and his family
but though the booze
became bad news
he died still drinking gamely

Always broke,
but what a bloke.
What tribute to deliver?
Instead of praise
we should raise
a statue of his liver
