Notes About The Poem

For Flash Poetry Challenge (10)—Clerihew Poetry

Sponsored by Mark Toney

Carol Burnett


Oh, that Carol Burnett,
with eyes and expressions, you'll not forget,
tugging her left ear after each show,
saying "Grandma, I love you so".

Sandra, I appreciate your support for my Flash Poetry Challenge (10). Your poem was randomly chosen to be featured in my 'Results' blog, which is now up and running. Your "Carol Burnett" clerihew brought back many enjoyable memories from our watching her show each week. Nicely done.
