YOU MUST HAVE HEARD OF THE SPLENDACIOUS SENSATION OF OUR NATION
HE WAS A QUINTESSENTIAL ENGLISH MAN IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY
HIS STYLE AND FLAMBOYANCE SO TIMELESS A RARELY MATCHED CREATION
MR NOEL COWARD WAS HIS NAME A UNIQUE INFLUENCE TO ENTERTAIN AND SWAY
A PLAYWRIGHT RACONTEUR DIRECTOR AN ACTOR TOO HIS MODIS OPERADI INTENTIONAL
STILL THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE ALWAYS IN DEMAND HIS REPUTATION NEVER KEPT AT BAY
NOEL'S PLAYS AND FILMS SO INCISIVELY WRITTEN YET UNCONVENTIONAL TOO
SO THOUGHT PROVOKING ABOUT OUR COMPLEX HUMAN CONDITION
RELEATIONSHIPS AGENDAS THE HUMAN STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL'S GELLING GLUE
HIS WORDS REFLECTIVE OR DEFLECTIVE BUT CERTAINLY GLIMPSES OF SECRET ADMISSIONS
A MASTERFUL SPINNER OF STORIES AND ANECDOTES FOR EVERYONE'S DELECTION
DRY DROLL MISCHIEVIOUS WIT PITHY YET FULL OF REBELLIOUS GRIT NO-ONE EVER BORED
SO ELOQUENTLY DELIVERED ONE QUESTIONS TRUE OR FAKE IN HIS VARIED INFLECTIONS
DEVOURED RECOUNTED AT GLAMOUROUS PARTIES AND FETES HIS REPUTATION SOARED
ADMIRED BY FILM STARS CELEBRITIES THE ELITE AS WELL AS THE TRUE BLUES OF OUR STATE
EVEN ROYALTY ACKNOWLEDGED HIS WORK A TRULY CELEBRATED FATED MAN
HIS ASTUTE MIND WAS INTERNATIONALLY RESOUNDED AS WAS HIS CLEVER TRAITS
CERTAINLY HIS LIFE'S AMBITION TO BE WITHOUT CONTRITION HIS INFLUENCE TO SPAN
TO MAKE US MAD ABOUT THE BOY THE RENOWNED LEGACY WE WILL NEVER FORGET
IT IS AGELESS STILL RELEVANT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO REPRISE AND FOREVER SCAN
