99 Was Not Enough

The world's a little dark now

Even somewhat sadder now

Even though we never met

There is no way I can forget

The laughter, the gift you sent

You'll never know how much it meant

The animals you used to help

I can almost hear them yelp

With sadness as you depart

Somehow it broke the heart

Of so many around the globe

And now, as I write this ode,

I think of all you have done

One hundred years minus one

What amazing things you've seen

And all the places you have been

I believe it's only right

To pay tribute to Betty White.
