RIP Benny Hill, Parody Master
My cable picks up BBC
Palladia Channel fea-
turing guys in wandering
stages through multi-
colored lasers as amoebas
in audience percolate.
Singers lack Sinatra's diction,
thus words form mishmash.
At this point, can’t keep Benny
from striding in with crackers
expression, ragged sleeveless
sweatshirt. Really miss him
in interview format, though
don’t know that reality doesn’t trump.
Star reclines, archetype of insouciance.
Answers laconically to light-
en the burden of genius
he so tragically hefts.
