Light hearted challenge.

[Guest]

A Clerihew you say.......

in an effort to lighten things a bit I suggested in another thread that it might be fun. So.........


Example

E. Clerihew Bentley.

Sir Christopher Wren

Sir Christopher Wren
Said "I'm going to dine with some men
If anybody calls
Say I am designing St Paul's."


4 line verse of unequal length rhyming a.a.b.b. Often biographical, witty and "tongue-in-cheek".

My offering:-

Old Bush
Was mush,
But Dubya
will trouble ya.

Kallisti...?

Ok Guilty..that's a disturbing AV hahahahaha

Hmmm,
at no time should ones well being
be dependent upon seeing
equations daily solved
that lie beyond ones mental resolve

Ok, so it's not that great. Since I couldn't think of an historic event, I thought I'd try to turn a social theorem into a poem ... dunno, needs work.

GP changes AV's often
(they run the gamut between excite and soften)
I thoroughly enjoy her poetic work
her amusing avatars are a bonus perk

        a mule
        has a very hard time to do well at school
        come here to the poetic forum
        and get applause from its quorum

[Senna Jawa]

a politically correct statement

 



            the most impudent
            is an average D+ student
            and it is a plus
            when s/he doesn't pass

OT appears stiff
Making one wonder if
Riding his bike is good
For wood.

(sorry )

William Bennett

O'er virtues he did ramble
while his own took a gamble
Bennett meant to inspire
but was simply a liar

    to France Germany & Russia murderous Saddam meant honey
    he's vanished and so did a huge chunk of their money
    poetic Hussein's admirers have lost nothing material
    since their face is to them immaterial

Obviously been away too long - can't keep up with all requests on the thread, ya know, work and all that corporate B.S. - no time - was ready to post a poem for Angeline's request - oh, about 50 pages back . . . guess it ain't happenin' no more?
Can't read all of what seems the neverending thread - apologies- outta here!

Scott Peterson
Killed his wife and beat her son
To death, and intends to get through it
By saying the Devil made him do it.

and left him stitchless

Be careful what you wish~
GP is no dish.
Her picture is known
to make flesh turn to stone.

But it's me,
Sure as can be.

[Maria2394]

i'll give it a try

the creature from the black lagoon,
having crawled from the primordial soup too soon,
hoped that with humans,having sex would be better,
his only lament, "I wish they were wetter"

 

[TheOlderGuy]

is making me sneeeeeeeze
it's better than snow
but, please, now GO


btw, nice work, maria
