Remembering Mr. Whipple
By Larry Linville
Dick Wilson, Mr. Whipple of old
Seemed so shy and yet so bold
As he protected that Charmin
From squeezes he though harmin’
He has died after all the years
Perhaps we should shed some tears
As we lift to him our joyous cheers
For commercials that expressed his fears
Let us remember him today
And repeat again what he would say
“Please, don’t squeeze the Charmin, my friend”
If we keep saying this the commercial won’t end
In his honor let us go to the store
Where we have often gone before
And let us stand and make an issue
When someone reaches and squeezes the tissue.
