L Milton Hankins Poet Clerihew

Archie and Veronica

Archie Andrews
Lots of girls from whom to choose,
But one young lady caught his eye
For her he could be the lucky guy.

Veronica Lodge
Would never our Archie dodge
She was always his girlfriend
From the beginning to the end.

Andrea Dietrich September 28, 2021 at 5:18 PM really loved that comic book and the cartoon on tv. Of all the comics I ever read, this was my favorite. Also your clerihew on them is one of my favorites on this winner list. Congrats on your win, Milt. And thanks for placing me in the couplets contest.

Andrea Dietrich September 6, 2021 at 1:58 PM oh but what about Betty?? I always rooted for betty. I love this one. And yes this is the best way to do clerihew! L Milton Hankins September 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM I agree. I should have written another stanza about Betty. In fact, I couldn't find her last name! (chuckling)

Caren Krutsinger August 30, 2021 at 6:33 PM Oh, yes Veronica; and the Bettys felt badly about it. L Milton Hankins August 30, 2021 at 7:26 PM So true. After I got over my pique, I wrote this one for Joseph's contest.

Sally Eslinger August 29, 2021 at 8:47 PM Agree, I couldn’t afford comics 60 yrs ago, but so enjoyed Archie and Veronica, I really wanted to escape into the thick double issues! Would still enjoy that now! Thanks for the memory!
