Three Clerihews
At dversepoets.com today we are asked to write as a challenge, a Clerihew, a poetic form invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (187 5 - 1956) It is a short and fun biographical verse with two rhyming couplets.
Amal married George Clooney
He certainly is no gooney
She wears tailored two piece suits
Her persona was enough to seduce
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most traveled was Marco Polo
He sailed and explored the world solo
From his escapades inspiration was drawn
What women did he discover in the land of Khan?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, how I loved Santa Claus,
his rosy cheeks and schnozz
Always jolly, in his red suit ate popcorn
His whiskers like a snowstorm
