Poem Response to book, "YOU'RE LUCKY, YOU'RE FUNNY"

Ballad – “You’re Lucky; you’re Funny – Phil Rosenthal”
(This poem is written in response to this book that I read.)

A funny man
Who’s lucky he’s funny.
He has a crazy family
And he can make fun of a bunny.

He had many odd jobs,
And even lost a few.
He finally created a hit sitcom
Which was called Everybody Loves Raymond, and the fans’ applause blew

He came from a Jewish family
His dad and mom came from Europe.
They came to America
To have a boy named Phil.

He also wrote this funny show
That everybody loved this guy named Ray,
Ray was a sportswriter
For New York Newsday.

Ray’s parents always barged in;
His brother was jealous of him and touched food to his chin.
It’s lucky that Phil was funny,
Because, Phil’s a funny man, who knew that he was in!
