Notes About The Poem

6/16/2024 for Clerimerick Couplets (hybrid form) Poetry Contest sponsored by Mark Toney

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Filmed movies about folks which stalk.
If you watch one, don't let your fears overpower
You, or you'll never get into the shower!

Hitchcock is known to have been very fond
Of beautiful ladies whose hair was quite blond.
Kim Novak and Grace Kelly
Make men's brains turn to jelly,
And, also, this filmgoer to respond!

Ten times, I've watched every film Hitchcock has made!
Let's watch one in my lonely motel, can I persuade?
You know, maybe, one thing might lead to another,
But I'm not sure it would be OK with Mother.

You captured the Hitchcock aura perfectly. Hitchcock certainly made great thrillers. I just loved this poem. It brought back memories.

Thanks Hilda. I like the ones you would call "thriller" (which are most of them) more than I like the ones you would call "horror".
