Gomer Pyle Poem by Ima Ryma

In 1962 he came
To public view on the T.V.
Gawwwww-leeeee Gomer Pyle was his name.
Shazam, he came from Mayberry.
Working a service station stint
For a few seasons, then off to
The U.S. Marines Gomer went
For more funny bizness to do.
He spoke in quite a high pitched twang
Which made his comedy his own.
Surprise, surprise, surprise - he sang
In a wonderful baritone.

Rerunning Gomer will not cease.
Thank you Jim Nabors - Rest in Peace.
