Frank E Gibbard Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Famous candidate Sarah Palin, Ran with her cohort but ended failin’ She lives like moose in remote Alaska Near enough to see says she if you ask her The egocentric Donald Trump Owned casinos that he had to dump In over the top creations they couldn't compare With the bizarre construction of his hair (First attempts Tink, don't know if I got them right?) I liked the one you did on Jacko. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Frank, I am so happy that you gave one of the verse forms a try. The Clerihew is a fun form, it is hard to go wrong with it. Yours are very funny, I especially like the Donald Trump one, it has great rhythm as well as being humorously spot on. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi Frank, Your title deceived me. At first I thought you wrote two poems about Tinker. Anyway, I like your Clerihews, they are fun to read. Writing about people, that means you have to know them well. Tinker, The Clerihew is a fun form, it is hard to go wrong with it. Is it? I would like to have a try, too. Thanks for sharing.

tonyv Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It's nice to see you use one of the forms (the Clerihew) for this dedicated work, Frank. A fitting choice!
