For Whom The Bell Tolls -- 2021

 First the bell tolled for a hero of sport,

And it tolled for an elegant grace,

And then the bell tolled for the master of talk,

And it tolled for a perfect pace,

And then the bell tolled for a legend of stage,

And it tolled for a riveting face,

And still the bell tolls for the Covid unsung, 

And it tolls for the human race.
