Ode to John F Kennedy Jnr

                  The World watched on as a boy aged three          Attended the Funeral - Of John F Kennedy          This little boy - His face so sad          His hand held high - He salutes his Dad          A shot rang out - that took his Father's life          As he rode in a car - beside his wife          America mourned this Tragedy          It was the year of 1963.          Five years later - on a fateful day          Robert Kennedy also - Died this way          In 1994 - His mother - Jacqui - Died          Again a Nation - Stopped and Cried          Now it seems - With a stroke of fate          His life is gone - at just 38          John's sister-in-law and Carolyn - His Wife          Were on that plane - That claimed His life          Near Martha's Vineyard - Off the Coast          On his way to a Wedding Toast          It's more bad news - For the Kennedy Family          Another son's been lost - so tragically          Sadness fills all our hearts - this day          John F Kennedy Jnr - Killed in the U.S.A.
