Bruce Forsyth was a talented performer from a tender age

We were all part of his journey on screen and stage

Sunday night at the London Palladium he shone

A star in the making and a show business don

He played his cards right and as a presenter was ace

On the price is right his corny jokes put a smile on our face

Strictly come dancing was the showcase he ultimately presented

Through setbacks and ill health he never relented

Say what you like about the generation game

An entertainer of his longevity will not be seen again

You only live once unfortunately not twice

Nice to see you Bruce to see you nice
