Notes About The Poem

Betty Boop was created in the days of Jazz Age Flappers, a Jazz singer, she is flirtatious. She was drawn with a head more similar to a baby's than an adult's in proportion to her body. This suggested the combination of girlishness and maturity that many people saw in the flapper type, which Betty represented. While the character was kept pure and girl-like onscreen, compromises to her virtue were a challenge.wiki  Her first cameo appearance in Popeye the Sailor (1933).  A certain girlish quality was given to the character.   

A time when women were empowered, girl power!Anaya

Betty Boop!

 
     High praise for Talkartoon Betty Boop
     Her Jazzy theme song Poop poopy doop!
     Many have thought of her  a sexpot
     She’s innocence and sass, shy she’s not!

I've seen a lot of Betty Boop paraphernalia and pics, but I've never seen her animated. Aren't these Clerihews fun to write? Yours is right on according to what I've seen of Ms. Boop bopping around in catalogs. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Haha, this is fun and playful! I love how you capture Betty Boop’s mix of sass and charm—the “Poop poopy doop!” line really brings her jazzy energy to life. The contrast with your partner’s view adds a humorous touch. Very lively and entertaining!
