Thx, Robert! The Clerihew is a biography that makes fun of a famous person.It tends to show the subject of the poem from an unusual point of view. 4 lines of irregular length & is metered for a comical effect.

Dear Anaya, I will always remember MLK and JJ for all their work to bring a wild world of 50s and 60s to a close. My family is blended family of race that might have never happened if it was not for their tenacity. A wonderful tribute. Blessings, Daniel

Daniel, I'm here this day to mark the passing of the rev. who did so much for us. The past never closes, in fact it's really not even the past. A tree grows & still contains its youngest rings. Mine as well, daughter ,has blessed me with her beautiful daughter, a dusky jewel. Thank you for your kind words, and blessings too~
