SONNET FOR RAINMAN What is art? Is a question subject of much conjecture And one musical part has had simple response laid on it While the general subject is suited to academic lecture For Jazz (or all art) - "If you has to ask? Lady you ain't got it" Characters of fiction aesthetically please, seen on stage or film But there are those who in life write a script, create such persona That we're moved, delighted by their presence in reality's realm With lives of rich texture and form whether in London or Verona There's one who's being has enhanced many a location Who with wit, style and verbal finesse played a role to ignite on As he moved through his chosen media of news and education Made such mark that in time became legend and an icon It is 'Rainman' , 'Mr Roy' we laud for playing such a part That we perceive his life as a tangible work of art.

Somewhat mysterious to me, it's true. I don't know who 'Rainman' is. But still fascinated by the descriptive style.
