Good Night ~ Mr. Miyagi

What would life be like
if at the age of two
your hospitalized for nine years
with a body cast
for spinal tuberculosis

'developing a sense of humor'

then released
only to find your self
tossed with your Japanese-American family
in an Internment camp
in Arizona
during WWII

a computer senior operator
threw it all away, one day
in order to make people laugh

a Bonsai Tree
that strives in the Devil's Cauldron KKIII

"Bonzai" KKI

"Ambition without knowledge
is like a ship in the desert" KKIV

"You do yes,
walk the right side of road, okay
You do 'No',
walk left side road, okay
walk down middle ...
"I think so"
get squashed like a grape,
understand?" KKI

"Man who catch fly with chop sticks,
can accomplish anything." KKI

an icon of a character
that portrayed the true spirit of...
Karate!

"We practice Karate not just for fighting,
but for all of life."
of course my hat is off to any man that can...
Karate chop a telephone pole in half (grin) KKII

"The grass is green and the Sun is shining." KKIV

"Happy Days"
rocking around the clock at Arnold's

"Even Cowgirls get the Blues."

"Elvis has left the building."

"The wackiest gun in the west."
has left~

A 'Star' still shines
for years to come
even though it is gone~

A dear friend has left
in the red, setting Sun
leaving behind many Bonsai
that will blossom

Good Night ~ Mr. Miyagi

Yes, a tribute is in order. But, how does this rate as poetry? 'Tis prose with extra line breaks. And bad spelling. [Gawd. . . !]

He will

be missed. He also played a detective named Ohara I believe.
