Comedian  par excellence ..a tribute

Comedy, more often enjoyed  by world all over, 

Laughter, the best medicine, an accepted fact,

Minutes of laughter, dose of endorphins in cover,

In release, brains work better, think better in fact

 

Tinsel world saw many a great comedian till date,

World thrilled by  such artists in abundance

 India too had, rich repertoire of persona in spate

South too has a huge collection in storing space.

 

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 clutches of poverty, in his prime,

Had a meteoric rise, hidden talents in excess,

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
