A Clerihew of Poo, But Only Because Too Much Me and Not Enough the Few
Well I know it's been forever and you didn't know what to do
Fear no more your philosopher is back with his clerihew
Who will be now name victim of this wonderfully silly form
Probably himself and anyone else is his norm
Yes Wayland wires these very quick
Rhyming and a little honor is the only trick
Short sweet and sure to poke fun
These should be a joy for everyone
Well each brief return i have to check on old Canada Jack
A limerick and quatrain writer from way back
Don't know why I had to call him Canada Jack now
Did someone call him a hussy, wow
This one Jack pokes fun at himself and others
I would hope he's writing forever if I had my druthers
I don't think I've ever used druthers in my writing
Oh this rhyming sure is exciting
There's another Canadian man named Richard Lamoureux
Words that rhyme with Lamoureux probably a few
It might help if I new the proper pronunciation
Oh well I guessed in this situation
Last time I was in contact with Richard he'd put out a book
He really is a grand writer and I'm sure it's worth a look
Unfortunately I haven't checked it out yet
But I'd bet it's a read you wouldn't regret
The philosopher many times wanted to write a book but maybe he's lazy
If he's not it's a common belief he's surely crazy
Living life sometimes a minute at a time
No wonder he never has time to rhyme
Avoiding all these wonderful poets like Seren Roberts, should be a crime
Thankfully though it isn't because I don't need that kind of time
Only to read and further analyze her work
In the whole process trying not to be a jerk
Fj Thomas my friend afar
Of poetry soup surely she's a start
I find her writing deep and inspirational
If I could sum her up in one word, sensational
And what about PD Linda the destroyer
In her destroying I'm only a voyeur
Haha do i sense a French word i could pronounce
I'm sure someone will make the connection and pounce
Wayland took three years of high school French
Even a college semester, but he doesn't know hardly any not even a pinch
Never took one class of Spanish but am fluent
I guess in my area Spanish is more congruent
Now the silly boy is using math terms in these words
Many people say a bunch of match is for the birds
I actually enjoy the mathematics myself
I leave the acrobatics for someone else
Aliyah Torres a different writer I've recently been exploring
If I could sum up her writing in one word, not boring or better yet enjoying
There's another unneeded math reference to add
But seriously her writing isn't bad
Yes Wayland reads her poems as if they're new
Then puts his ignorance in this clerihew
I really will try to be more relevant
But of reading all my friends work i haven't made a dent
They're too many and too talented the bunch
I read what I can in a crunch
But then I'm further intrigued
On and on i read
Of there lives and emotions they write
I really could read them day and night
But I get lost in my crazy life
Focused on my own troubles and strife
Funny how that's the thing I usually write about
Before I thought it was therapeutic but now I doubt
Maybe I just a freak of my own pain
But still i don't find the writing in vain
This for is supposed to be funny you dummy
By you I mean me of course, sometimes I'm not very sunny
Bright i mean if you missed the meaning
Hopefully myself i will be redeeming
But enough about me, it's already too much
I used these clerihews to be funny and such
I guess I've gotten out of practice in my absence
Fortunately this form isn't very tense
What about Nette the philippine souper
Her poems are super duper
Her comments hear felt each one
But I was trying to get back to the fun
How about Andrea who shares the last name of one of my former professors
Of those two he's definitely the lesser
I wouldn't even remember him if not for the name
And in my mind and soul, she's gained fame
Always humble, thoughtful, and kind
I don't think Andrea would leave you in a bind
But who knows if you get on her bad side
Then maybe you'd best run and hide
I actually have a knack of getting on people's wrong side
I almost said it as I had some pride
But really that's not my intention
I never really like being in distention
See i can't stop writing about me for a second
With myself i also find objection
But I continue on melodic
As one of my friends thinks he's sure neurotic
I think narcissistic is what they mean
Or at least so it would seem
I think how do they even know a word like narcissistic
Someone they know, must be sedistic
But then does that mean I'm the one
Causing pain while I'm having fun
Definitely not me I hope
With that type of me i couldn't cope
Now I see my own narcism sand laugh
You keep writing about yourself you ass
Line after line me, me, me
Now their point of view i can see
Unfortunately I haven't read enough for more content
So my ignorance doesn't allow me to relent
But no more because really it's almost all me
I give this clerihew session a D
