Charlie Brown

poor Charlie Brown
exposed as a clown
Lucy positions the football upright
Chuck Swings, and she yanks it from sight!

(not sure if this is a clerihew???)

Isn't it JUST LIKE LUCY to pull a prank on Charlie Brown like this, Diana? I love your clerihew...I think u are a very very fast learner...It must be GENETIC!!...Like mother, like daugher..I love reading your mom's poetry.... I haven't entered one in this contest bc I don't know which one is the best..hmmm> You chose a wonderful character to write about. Gwendolen

Oh my poor charlie brown. This is a great poem. I looked in several of my books on poetry and none mentioned a Clerihew. Anyway, good luck, Jancarl

I looked up Clerihew on poetrysoup "forms of poetry" and I think what I wrote is right? But it seems that everyones form is a little different. thanks for checking!
