The Bernie Mac Show

This Tribute is for the late Bernie Mac who in his comedic way brought me some entertainment and some of life’s lessons. It is regretful that we don’t get to say to those who may have influenced us directly a special thank you to let them know how far reaching their work was but I feel sure that Bernie Mac was thankful to give.

 

The Bernie Mac Show

The Original King of Comedy

Had made him more famous than his debut in Mo Money

Everyone remembers Bernie in Get on the Bus

But Ocean’s Eleven was better to us

Exciting roles in Bad Santa and Full Throttle

Roles in Charlie’s Angels and Transformers were joyful

Not as joyful though as the Bernie Mac Show

In it Americans loved the man they came to know

Even Bajans watched with curiosity

Many unwilling at first but later magnetically

A man demonstrating the ills of men

Caught in uncertainty of how to raise children

Sometimes so wrong but sometimes so right

He will be missed for his comical insight

One thing he has left for all the world to see

Who are impoverish can still have opportunity
