Beauty and the Beast

King Kong; the beast 
Sadly, Is now deceased  
Killed by man 
For his love...of Anne

Beauty; they said 
Had sent him to bed 
But anyone with brains 
Knew it...be the planes

Charlie, your Clerihew is one of my favorites. I laughed out loud at the last line. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn (semicolon use threw me off a bit)

Charlie, in my contests, just avoid using any punctuation that isn't necessary. You would have been up in first place if not for the semicolons. Absolutely awesome clerihew, and I've urged my friends to read it.

Yeah, I'm not too good with those darn semi-colon's lol Thank you so much, Carolyn. It was my 1st clerihew so I am thrilled :) Charlie
