~ * let Rodney Dangerfield tickle your muse * ~

Greetings my fellow poets and poetesses…
I have some points to give away so here we go again

I happen to think that Rodney Dangerfield
is one of the most hilarious and original comedians of our time
His brilliance will be missed but his words
will be a legacy for everyone to adore

Prompt: Pen me a poem using one of Rodney Dangerfield’s quotes
