Michael Agee was his name

Michael Agee was his name

From old Hollywood he came

He was great at cooking meals

At five foot six he wore no heels

An only child he had no sibling

At the tale there was no quibbling

He could eat ice cream as he desired

Or until he just got sick or tired

I do not think that was fair

Mine I always had to share

It was at his home he claimed

He met many of the famed

And could tell such wild wild stories

In many many categories

They often had Laurel and Hardy

At many a family party

To name names I didn't have to coach

In fact, he often mentioned Hal Roach

He also mentioned big John Wayne

Or Gene Kelly singing in the rain

Sinatra to him was a Francis

He knew all the actors in Kansas

He knew everybody who could sing

He knew both Bob Hope and Bing

he had his record about Galway Bay

And many too by Doris Day

He had records by the score

In bookcases and on the floor

He had more DVD's than Amazon

More recorded CD's than Elton John

Day and night he was recording

But he also alas was hoarding

The cardboard from boxes is now in piles

Reaching all the way to the ceiling tiles

His little house was like a museum

Collectibles to fill the Coliseum

Tinseltown he could have shook

If he had written a tell all book

Behind phony smiles there were grouches

And there really were casting couches

On girls there were dastardly acts

And even boys could not turn their backs

Such nightly high jinks did not irk

But were always considered a male's perk

Nobody could be called demented

If he could imply she consented

Good old boys meant no great upheaval

In the glitzy empire of the evil

He should have been in legal fights

To claim his many copyrights

He came to buy Richard Feiner's estate

But hesitated as was his trait

I brought him to the grocery store

And took him back to his front door

I brought him to local drug stores for pills

He was in pain far from Beverly Hills

Then one day he didn't answer the phone

He had just died in Cairo all alone
