Clerihew

[Mickpjb]

Have you heard of Billy McGoo
head misshaped like a shoe.
Can you imagine the disgrace
of having laces on your face?


First attempt at one of these! thanks David I can have some fun with these

I was going to suggest "misshapen" rather than "misshaped" then I wondered what is a clerihew, anyway? I looked it up and it emphasised that the lines of the couplets are of unequal length, so perhaps not. It reminds me of that song, "all the world is football-shaped, it's just for me to kick in space."Who was it who sang that?

Ray,

I had to look Clerihew up also! it was feedback from David that highlighted them! I am still learning the ropes and have no real history of poetry writing or education so even things like 'stanza' are new to me!

As for your song lyrics - I'll give you a clue, it was the same band that were making plans for Nigel?

Very good, Mick. I noticed the reply from David and I must say you've started your Clerihew career with a goodun. There's much fun to be had with the opening name and Billy McGoo is a great start.

Good to see some more forms about the place, fair dues you have experimented a fair bit of late and have come up with some enjoyable writes.
I like this one, and will have to have a look at the form with a view towards having a go when time allows.
You are writing a lot of late, you must be inspired.

All the best

Now it was my turn to try and learn what are Clerihews! Nice work.
Cheers.

Here's one for you, Mick.

Mickpjb
is no baby.
He wrote a clerihew
although he'd read very few.

Hoy!

Cheers

David,

Thanks, I think that is the first time I have featured in any poem!

Not sure if I should be worried now!

Thanks for the feedback all!
