Harry Horsman Poet Clerihew

Clerihew 001

BOB HOPE

Mr Robert Hope
always acted the dope
made his wealth from jokes
and his applause from folks.

WHAT’S IN A SOUND

Mr Les Paul
Where would we all,
Be without your sound
In this, the creation that you found.   

Harry J Horsman 2012

Tim Ryerson December 15, 2012 at 2:39 PM I think it was Les Paul who said something to the effect 'my guitar is my Psychiatrist, bartender, mother', etc...I was a big fan of Mr. Hope as well...great clerihew, great win, Harry - Tim

Ravindra K Kapoor December 11, 2012 at 10:37 PM Both these clerihews are wonderfully created by you. The first is matchless and the second one of course comes second. Great work to show a little off the track Poem my friend and thank you for your comments on my Bible Poem. Love and best wishes....RavindraK...Harry Horsman

Ilene Bauer December 11, 2012 at 5:59 PM nice ones, harry! i like them both...

Andrea Dietrich December 11, 2012 at 3:05 PM these are GREAT, Harry. In the Bob HOpe one, you could also use the word "earn" in place of "made" and that would go better with applause, do you think? Keep up doing more of these. Love them.
