Not are they sports-linked; a news ploy
Is in some weird way to join dots;
But this unlikely trio stops
Us in our tracks; how can it be
Not one star falls and burns, but three
On a single dark, November day
Miller, James and Rhodes all pass away?
Gone - Jonathan Miller's sparkling wit
So British theatre takes a hit
Chef Gary Rhodes fades in Dubai
His menus henceforth pie-in-sky ...
Sharp Vivian Leopold, known as Clive
Whose repartee spread fast worldwide
Putting Aussie culture on the map,
Bows out at Eighty - with corked hat...
While sudden losses sadden hearts;
Raw talent such as here imparts
Fond tastebud mem'ries or wry smile
So guess what – they live on a while!
