Poetry Contest

write a Clerihew
a hundred and more uears ago
a sixteen yr old kid was bored in
his high school class and started
writing four line poems, about people.
the first line had their name:

President Obama

the second line rhymes:

Is not your Momma

thee next two lines rhyme on their own:

So stand up straight
And carry your freight

but wait, thats not all!
the spirit of this poem about
a famous person must:
be light hearted, comical,
not mean in any way.

This style of poem became so famous, it
is named after that 16 yr old so many
years ago,
Edmund Clerihew Bentley

to write a Clerihew

I personally invite you to my party
but if I don’t remember your name
then your career is to blame!

Poor poor Patrick Moore
Your daughter is a whore
She raised her dress near Blarney stone
Offering all for free a bone

love it, guys and dolls
keep 'em rolling for one and alls
it may be stormy outside
but this poetry is bonafide

Known by day as Bruce Wayne
In the light serves no pain
But when day turns to night
The Dark Knight will fight

A very rich man called Trump
Ventured on to the stump
The result, we are saddled
With a man who is addled.

Mary found virginity  a bore;
She had beauty that men adore
She took one to bed
Is that enough said?

Superman really is the one hero
saving Metropolis from becoming a zero
and yet, spends some time paying rent
as newspaper reporter Clark Kent.

Donald Trump Clerihew

When we elected Donald Trump
Our Nation made quite a jump
From a man who proclaimed piety
To a man who worships high society

Trump is greatest pres that live
Trump got a whole lotta live to give
but if you no longer love him
at least your paycheck wont be slim

Kanye's Cake Causes Earthquakes

It's impolite to stare
At even ample derriere;
But rubbernecking fetched a pardon
When Kim showered on her lady garden

Wives in Comma  

Ivana, Marla and Melania
What the Hell’s wrong with ya?
You’ve all have beauty and class
So why did you marry such an ass?
