Pierre Elliot Trudeau, prime minister of Canada for 15 years, now this is a man to know; a colorful personality mobbed by throngs of cameras and adoring female youth, yet it is his many political decisions that haunt us still- oh, that is our truth ! ________________________________ January 22, 2019 Poetry/Clerihew/Pierre Elliot Trudeau Copyright Protected, ID 19-1107-191-02 All Rights Reserved.

Carolyn, thanks for the congratulations, Pierre was a very colorful man, very outspoken, and really stirred the pot in Canadian politics.

Dear Heart, I liked how you kept line one very short, using only his name. Several that I scored at fourth place failed to realize the name of the person is the part that should be rhymed and they were not putting the person's name as the title. This one makes me want to know more about him. Congrats in my contest.

Andrea, thanks for the contest and my placement, that was fun! There is so much to say about Pierre, he changed so much in Canada politics, but I guess we need a much longer contest for that to be written.
