Don’t think I agree with Michael Jackson’s daughter having to speak at his memorial service.

The media are describing it as her 26-word speech (even though I counted 27 words?).

The Indispensable Man

The Indispensable Man
by Saxon White Kessinger

Sometime when you’re feeling important,
Sometime when your ego’s in bloom,
Sometimes when you take it for granted
You’re the best qualified in the room.
Sometimes when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to your wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining
Is a measure of how you’ll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you’ll find that in no time
It looks quiet the same as before.
The moral in this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself, but remember—
There’s no indispensable man.

This was the favourite poem of Jim Reeves.

Its meaning has significance to me at this moment in time.

Falk’s daughter Catherine (a real life private detective) has applied to the Los Angeles County Superior Court for a conservatorship – a type of legal guardianship of her father to protect him from being deceived into transferring his property and for his own health and safety.
