The SnackHound Tribute to Dom Deluise

In Memory of Dom Deluise
August 1,1933- May 4, 2009

A tribute poem***

by Chris…TheSnackHound

Dear Dom Deluise
What can I say
In the 70s
You wore a scarf and beret
Although you were not French.

You sat on the bench
seat of a big old car with Burt
He is still known as the guy with the creepy 70s moustache
That has to hurt
While instead you donned the shirt
And the white hat

A hefty man who loves food
Imagine that.
But you were on the New York times list
While he starred in a movie
About making movies starring naked people
having various X rated trists.

Rest in Peace, Dom Deluise
And send us a postcard
If you please
To let us know
If we need Ziploc bags in heaven

***= Considered a poem only by a technicality. I think you would agree.

Do you like the atmosphere around here?
Okay, this was more pathetic than funny, but still it would be nice if you would rate me on Humor Blogs!
(You will have my undying appreciation!)

Awww I didn’t know he passed away. Dang it! That’s what i get for not watching the news.

You lost your bet I didn’t get distracted by the pictures until I read all the posts.

I was going to give you a Entrecard drop but couldn’t find your wiget.

Have a great Day.

Thank you for this!! We all love Dome. We were neighbors for many years and he provided hilarious experiences for us often. He was a wonderful cook and grew vegetables in his parkway (to the dismay of his fancy neighbors). A great man who had a magnificent life spreading laughter to all. best, s

That’s cool that you knew him “in person.” He seems to be a guy that always had a smile on his face. I know that Hell’s Kitchen is really popular…but I wonder what the show would have been like with Dom Deluise encouraging people and making jokes instead of Gordon Ramsey…

I heard about Dom… Love that guy. Reminds me of my Mom and her unique, crazy laugh. She just adored him and I can see her plain as day laughing hysterically. He will be missed by the masses I am sure. Want to say thanks for honoring him with your wonderful poem!
