J. R.
Farewell to Larry Hagman,
Dallas TV star,
the villain that we knew and loved
simply as J.R.
Like his beloved oil,
he was slimy, he was slick,
his opponents were outwitted,
not one was worth a lick.
This year the show returned
and though J.R. now was old,
the sneer, the smile, the twinkle,
still triumphant small-screen gold.
So farewell now Larry Hagman,
the man we booed and hissed,
as the king of TV villains,
you will be sadly missed.
