Courage, The Cowardly Dog

           Courage, lives in The Middle Of Nowhere,
                "there's something wrong here" — 
               the dog eats pancakes at the table,
         a Bagge over monsters, lap full of love, his Muriel

I like your Clerihew but not so much my memory. I don't remember Courage, the Cowardly Dog. I feel left out. Still, I'll leave you ... Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Is it Courage & the Cowardly Dog? Not Courage, the Cowardly Dog? If so, there's two I don't remember. I'm going home now.

This, indeed, is the essence of a clerihew. Your thoughts are keen and clear, Paige, free from the bitterness that often shadows such clarity.

Courage & Cowardly at the same table, titled ! Yeah, they do hug one another. This is really what a clerihew is. Your mind is sharp & insightful, Paige, without the cynicism that often goes with sharp.x.
