Rhyme Scheme: Partly Consecutive240 Redford - 21 Aug 2020
You've stood up to tyrrany, O King of The Last Castle
You've had us go fishing away from the noise and bustle
You've seemed Indecent for a man of power but softened
As a Candidate you beg for change for the Environment
You've always told stories that move, been a Weatherman
You've helped a broken down golfer, his swing regain
When you Whispered healing to a Horse I broke down
A'm thrilled to know that The Redford Center you own
You've been a Natural, looked sexy wearing Sneakers
For Environment you stand apart from other speakers
I don't remember much of your being a Legal Eagle
In a River Runs Through It, you dared us to inviegle
The secrets of life, peaceful as a man on a Mountain
I remember writing you a poem, Jeremiah! When
Shall we truly be mindful of the Company We Keep?
It's An Unfinished Life so wrest with it and not weep
You've begged us not to be like Ordinary People
Rather to Dance in the Sun, like Kids enjoying treacle
I cried when you died trying to get Out of Africa
Now help build a feature where happy we are
Happy Birthday Robert Redford. Give my love to Jamie and the rest of the family!
