Columbo roasts Sinatra . . .and then Don Rickles does it [by David Lehman]

When Lt Columbia received the invitation to appear on the show, his "wife deposited the telegram in their safety deposit box until we can get it framed." Columbo hands Sinatra a bar napkin and gets him to autograph it.  Present are Dean Martin, James Stewart, Milton Berle, ex-governor Ronald Reagan, Gene Kelly, Orson Welles, George Burns. Then. . .Don Rickles takes his turn."Bob Hope couldn't be here tonight. He's looking for a war."

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
