Andy Rooney

Unique newsman Andy Rooney,
did not look like a George Clooney;
beetling brows grew too much hair,
verbalist extraordinaire.

America's favorite beetle-browed grumpy old man, but when he had something to say, he knew how to say it. A real journalist. Congratulations!

Faye, a BIG congratulations to you. Your clerihew, by my interpretation of how this form should be, is SUPERB!! (a small suggestion, change "grow" to "grew." Maybe now in heaven, his eyebrows don't look so weird, haha!!)
