Comedian  par excellence ..a tribute

Comedy, more often enjoyed  by world all over, 
Laughter, the best medicine and an accepted fact,
Minutes of laughter, good dose of endorphins,
In release, brains work better, think better too.
 
Tinsel world saw many a great comedian till date,
World thrilled by many such artists in abundance
India indeed too had rich repertoire of persona
Down South has a huge collection in store.
 
Mollywood has a few, down the memory lane,   
One such septuagenarian ruled the roost,
His mannerisms, his slang  always an instant hit
Many of his films, overshadowing the heroes too
 
Rising from the clutches of poverty, fully aware too
Had a meteoric rise, the hidden talents spoke
Volumes of humor, written all over his frame
Films of his, wore a testimony of his prowess
 
Cornered by the tentacles of cancer, yet he fought,
A testimony to the great fighting spirits within,  
Innocent, as his name suggests, bore a smiling face,
Amidst the dying spirit within, bowing to the destiny
