O Robert Towne, a legend we mourn,
Whose words in films were brilliantly sworn,
"Chinatown" shines bright in history's eyes,
A gem of cinema that forever flies.

In scripts of depth and intricate thought,
Towne's talent and skill were finely wrought,
Oscar in hand, his words carved with precision,
Crafting stories that sparked our imagination's vision.

A master of dialogue, a maestro of the pen,
In Hollywood's vast realm, he did transcend,
Robert Towne's legacy, an eternal flame,
His brilliance in screenwriting, we'll always acclaim.
