“I’m much softer than people think. I don’t present to the world an emotional face.
I’m pretty good at self-control, but I am easily moved” Sir Christopher Lee

Homage to Sir Christoper Lee

From the horrors of Hammer
To Lord of the Rings
Without a stammer
Lines delivered like kings

A villain or a hero
Never the zero
Captains and counts
Even some with discounts

Soft or scary
The roles did vary
You never failed
Getting the parts nailed

Without a mock
Shakespeare or Hitchcock
Film or television
Enjoying each transmission

Your dabble
And certainly no babble
Into Heavy Metal
Was right on the petal

All in all
Sir Christopher Lee
How we miss thee
A great human being
We ever have hoped to have seen

An actor most versatile
And never vile
We adored you our sire
The greatest Vampire
Of them all
