In realms of jest and jocular fame,
A comedian rose, with reputation's flame,
Jerry Lewis, a name that echoes through time,
A master of mirth, with humor's sublime.
His artistry transcended stage and screen,
A visionary director, with vision serene,
He crafted tales that captivated and delighted,
A pioneer of video assist, with production's merit.
With mentorship, he guided Spielberg's hand,
A bond of laughter, that forever stood grand,
The Nutty Professor, a comedy classic born,
A tale of transformation, where identity is sworn.
As Kelp, he struggled, with clumsiness and woe,
But Buddy Love, a suave alter ego, did glow,
A serum's magic, that transformed his frame,
But with each step, a delicate balance to maintain.
The allure of Buddy, a charming, carefree life,
Was tempting, yet, with authenticity, a strife,
Stella Purdy, a beauty, with charm so bright,
Was won by Buddy's charm, in the Purple Pit's delight.
The film's aesthetic, a vibrant, retro hue,
A kitsch charm, that endures, anew,
Cinematography's bright colors, a feast for the eyes,
W. Wallace Kelly's vision, that never compromises.
Walter Scharf's score, a whimsical, lively air,
Complemented Lewis's energy, without a single care,
Though limited by archives, the music did abide,
Enriching the film's atmosphere, with a gentle, loving stride.
The Nutty Professor, a film of timeless charm,
A testament to Lewis's comedic genius, a work of art,
A exploration of identity, and self-acceptance's might,
A question that resonates, through day and night.
A classic, it stands, in cinematic history's hall,
A legacy, that endures, standing tall,
For Jerry Lewis, a comedian, a director, a man,
The Nutty Professor, a treasure, forever to stand.
