The Eulogy comic poem 505 by Angela Lansbury

We're here to praise our darling son💪

Shot by a bad, dastardly one

Our son was always sweet and kind

Gave to the deaf, what he'd robbed from the blind


Although he never was in school 

Self-taught, street-wise, he was no fool

He had a house of guns and knives

His only motive saving lives


He was the most popular of the blokes

All danced with him when he showed them the ropes

His fingerprints showed he'd tightened them

But he'd only meant to frighten them


He'd killed ten people with one blow

A blow can kill, he didn't know

He'd spent time, too long, in detention

For - deeds which we'd rather not mention


The town's filled with his mourning chums

And a long line of single mums

He was a man who had a vision

Of going straight, for one day, when leaving prison


He led a short and happy life

Ten kids, six girlfriends and a wife

His kids will miss what they never had

The perfect, loving, anti-hero Dad.

-ends- 

Robbing Hood is a pun on the character of Robin Hood.
