A Final Salute to Sid

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: February 16, 2014

Rendering unto Caesar our respects…

We rendered unto Caesar laughs.
We laughed so hard we cried.
But now we render our respects
with news that Sid has died.

"Your Show of Shows" was Caesar's throne
when TV was quite new.
His brand of humor reigned supreme.
And no one asked "Sid who?"

But now that this great comic's gone,
I'm very sad to say
that few (if any) folks I know
care that Sid passed away.

Peace to his memory!
