This is a great poem in tribute to Bob and his unique characters and descriptive language. He was a generous writer who will be missed by many. Enjoyed reading your thoughts.

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Bill, Thanks for this. I can just see Bob smiling right now as he reads it. It's sure to please him, and (indeed) all his fans! I loved all the nouns that "pop" in your poem, the rhymes also. Splendidly penned! Enough can't be said about our Fanstory Master!
Cheers,
Kimbob

Comment from Dawn Munro
Your tribute is so telling of a style Bob seemed to embody with his writing -- truly a six-star effort, IMO, and worthy of nothing less. I think Mastery would chuckle over this one...

Exceptional tribute, Bob.
All the words you (he) used were common in the 30's-50's. My older relatives used them sometimes while watching old movie's in a black and white tv.
The fact that Bob used them made his stories more genuine.
I am sorry to know we've lost such a wonderful writer.
Thank you for this beautiful ode.

Comment from Ben Colder
Well said, Bill. I think we writers normally write where our hearts are or, I might say, our thoughts are. Mine is where I know something about and lived in most cases. You bring to life something a person should think about. However, it is written to give honor where it is to be. I do hope Bob moved on to a brighter place than the darkness he wrote about.

Oh how I wish someone could pick up where Bob left off with Cleve Hawkins and his vast cast of characters. You did a bang up job of rhyming on this one, if I had six stars to award I surely would.

Comment from judiverse
So interesting that you were able to use all those words and get them to fit in. I am a fan of hard boiled detective fiction, so it was always a pleasure to read the Cleve series. We'll remember all those characters, so they haven't completely disappeared. I think Bob would have enjoyed this very much. judi

Well done, old mate. I certainly related to this. It was very descriptive as was Bob's writing at all times. Thanks for sharing. I want to add some pics to my tribute as well.

Thank you for another great tribute to Bob! And your poem is so full of colorful words that are probably found in Bob's writings! He did a great job with those Cleve Hawkins stories and he's still alive in those works.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is a spot on tribute to Mastery. I much enjoyed the word play on the title, and what a terrific poem throughout using all the easy women, stoolies, chiselers and cops. This reads out loud perfectly almost like a little rap, but better.
Excellent poem, and fine read today. :))
