All deaths are premature or so they say

It invites shock, distrust and public inquest.

It’s a death amidst traversing applause,

The comedian died for a living cause.

Forensics trace it to a normal ‘attack’

But some still doubt, a “moronic gaze”

caught him unaware and choked his breath.

Each thrilled in this act finale

Others took it an improvised tale

The dim-wit knew the massive truth

But too shocked to discern his gaze fatal

inscribed on the dead so clean and pale.
