KIRK

Seven decades in films never short of work 
To his fans he was known simply as Kirk
Times were hard when he was a little lad 
Poverty was all his family ever had 

Kirk the boy soon became Kirk the man 
A Hollywood blacklist he helped to ban 
Film roles and famous lines followed too 
A big box office star that much is true 

So many characters did Kirk portray 
Spartacus his famous one so people say
Kirk left the world at a hundred and three
One of the greatest actors there ever will be

Kiernan, 
When I read the title, I thought 'oh man! a trekkie!' but Kirk Douglas was great, too, and your dedication was fantastic. Thanks! 
Matthew. 

Live long, and prosper.
