You transformed yourself
in every character.
It was never a Rocky Horror,
No matter what the show.
A Legend,
even in Darkness,
we were but Lilli’s,
dreaming in your shadow.
You were not, not clueless.
The double negative
was proof positive
you had a Clue.
Forever wise,
you were always It.
Quick with a balloon,
I’d float down here, too.
You cooked up quite the characters,
honest and brave and true.
You were a Muppet,
more than Silver, our treasure.
Throughout your storied career,
you gave us our greatest gift.
You gave us your everything,
and it was entirely our pleasure.
