A Clarihew for Monsieur Pingouin

Mr. Alfred David

walked normal as a kid

but later developed a waddle

and began loving penguins full-throttle.

Shark Week Clerihew

The 30 Rock guy, Tracy Jordan,

doesn't have words of wisdom often,

but simple solid advice he sometimes does speak,

i.e. "Live every week like it is shark week."

Streaming Mediocre Content

Please Misters Universal, Warner Bro's and Twentieth Century Fox,

don't make me pay $30 per month for mediocre content to my box.

I can't afford to pay more, but with the minimum I'd be bored!

Please sirs.  Rad rhyming requests shan't be ignored.

Saturday AM TV

There once was a talking sponge named Bob.

My valuable braincells he attempted to rob.

I can see why he makes little kids laugh and play.

Still I wish there was better AM TV on Saturday.

Clerihews About Me, For You

These Clerihew poems were written (very quickly... on my lunch break...) for Inside My Poem Book's poetry form challenge.  I highly recommend joining the challenge.  I thought it was really fun!


Olive Louise

Grandma said, "Name her Olive Louise."
Mom said "No thank you" despite her "please".
Every day I thank God I'm not called Ollie Lou.
I think it's a terrible nickname; annoying song too.

Rhyming Rachel

Radical rhyming Rachel
writes poetry that's playful.
She attempts to report on news that's crazy
in a way that entertains readers who're lazy.

The Karaoke Queen

The karaoke queen
sings well and isn't mean.
Sometimes when drinking she'll say,
"I'm not bad.  I'm just drawn that way."
