Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Clerihew

Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde prowled the country in a V-8 Ford on a robbing and killing spree!

   They met their doom on a rural road by cops concealed behind rock and tree!

Per Undertaker "Boots" Bailey, the bodies were shot so often by cops lying in wait,

   That the embalming fluid kept leaking from the holes as he tried to stem the spate!

Robert Pettit February 12, 2012 at 7:19 PM While reading this, I could just picture Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway getting riveted in the ambush to the tune by Georgie Fame. Another great write, Bob.

Russell Sivey February 12, 2012 at 5:50 PM Ha ha! Yep, another hilarious Clerihew! You sure do know how to write these 'Hews! I understand the story of Bonnie and Clyde, it's just unfortunate that they couldn't capture them instead of killing them! You've written a great story, one that I've enjoyed a lot tonight! Great Work!!
