Irving Brecher, R.I.P.


Irving Brecher and Groucho Marx

Irv Brecher was quick with a quip
his writing both witty and hip
He dotted "Go West"
with bon mot and jest
each gag "At the Circus" a pip



For radio wrote "Life of Riley"
his humor martini mixed dryly
A comic savant
like Oscar Levant
his rep as a writer's held highly


William Bendix reads "The Life Of Riley"
