Notes About The Poem

Pierre Elliot Trudeau 1919-2000

Prime Minister of Canada for 15 years

He described his retirement from politics as " taking a walk in the snow"

Clerihew - Pierre Elliot Trudeau

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 !

Best wishes, Carolyn Constance La France February 8, 2019 at 8:18 AM Carolyn, thanks for the congratulations, Pierre was a very colorful man, very outspoken, and really stirred the pot in Canadian politics.

Andrea Dietrich February 3, 2019 at 2:49 PM 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. Constance La France February 8, 2019 at 8:20 AM 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.
