Subject: Obit: Frank Jacobs (1929 - 2021)
Frank Jacobs passed away April 5, 2021 at age 91. He wrote just about all those great song and poetry parodies for Mad magazine in their glory days.

Here's one off the top of my head (yes, I know it belongs in another thread) that I regaled my wife with only a couple of weeks ago:

******************************

Hello Deli (Tune: Hello Dolly)

Hello, deli,
This is Joe, deli,
Would you please send up a nice corned beef on rye?
A box of Ritz, deli,
And some Schlitz, deli,
Some chopped liver and a sliver of your
Apple pie.

Turkey legs, deli,
Hard boiled eggs, deli,
With tomatoes and potatoes
You French fry, oh...

Please don't be late, deli,
'Cause I can't wait, deli,
Deli - without breakfast I will die!

*******************************

R.I.P.
