Dear all
Hereby to inform you of the sad news
Of the passing of my father Cyrus
In Harare, Zimbabwe at the age of 57
I'm sure some of you have happy memories
Of him and will miss him very much
And here goes the stories of the funambulist
Of niagara falls
For whom the currents beneath
Were nothing but themes
Of stories to tell
Without losing sight
Of his path of pride
