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."
