Notes About The Poem

Written Oct.3,2021 for Clerihew contest sponsored by Joseph May

Archie and Edith

Archie Bunker
A good ol' boy,
Opinionated and moody,
He tended to be broody.

Edith Bunker
Was Archie's wife.
With a cheerful outlook she fought his strife.
The one bright spot in Archie's life.


ALL IN THE FAMILY

What a pair! The Oddest Couple, if ever there was... Don't quite know who was more stereotypical -- Edith, the ditzy broad, or Archie, the meat-headed bigot. What a show that was. Can you imagine it running today? -- Not with the cancel culture. ~ Gershon
