Bugs Bunny: a cartoon character who was more than just funny. His way of dealing with rivals was shrewd. Yosemite Sam always came out worse in their feud.

great job...your first line was the character as is asked for in the Clerihew. Nicely done & best wishes with the contest, Sara

I believe that the first line should only be the name of the person or character but Tania’s example did not do that. Not sure if she’s a stickler for the rules or not. We’ll have to wait and see. Thanks, Sara. Take care. Jim

Thanks, Jan. I think you'll find it easy to come up with something very quickly. This one came to me in, like, two minutes. Take care. Jim
