Red Skelton would have loved the sadness of the empty home
For he would have mimed the act of being all alone
Passing from each room and pausing to show
That there was an emptiness in his tow.

Until he reached his bed in time to reflect
That all was not lost in effect
For the sadness could be used to note
That he could end with his characteristic quote,

'Goodnight, and God Bless! '

Sidi J. Mahtrow
