Much More Than Seven Words

George Denis Patrick Carlin

May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008

Although he really wasn’t

Everybody’s cup of tea

He was, a great comic

And he was, very funny.

He made fun of everyone

And of society’s flaws

He was arrested for it

They said, "You broke our laws!"

His, "Seven Dirty Words"

Are some, that some won’t say

But, a part of our language

And, always been that way.

His bit, played on the radio

And a man’s son, heard

But, his dad let him listen

And that’s kinda absurd.

He complained to the FCC

It went to the Supreme Court

George lost it, five to four

But didn’t stop, his retort.

A Grammy winner, actor

Author, and philosopher

He was true to himself

Said what he thought, for sure!

Considered the second best

Of all those funny men

I doubt we’ll see another

As good as him, again.

He surely was no angel

He doubted, "The Pearly Gate"

If there is, and he gets there

They’ll probably make him wait;~)
