Silent One Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

For the Clerimerick couplets contest by Mark Toney.

A combination of clerihew and limerick forms.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo.
Born in Funchal, Madeira's archipelago.
Played for Real Madrid and Man United.
Now his flair gets Al Nassr fans excited.

Messi is Ronaldo's biggest rival,
always vying to give fans an eyeful.
With a flick and a trick,
both make football look slick,
adding awards into their archival.

Although Messi has the Ballon d'Or awards record,
no one can match the goals Ronaldo has scored.
He started as a winger, but now plays as a centre forward.
When he misses a chance he's known to scream a swear word!

Mark Toney July 21, 2024 at 3:17 PM S O, your poem is dynamic, informative, and fun! A Fav for sure for this soccer fan:-) Congratulations on your podium finish!

Eileen Manassian July 19, 2024 at 9:50 PM I like him too. I was shocked to know he actually learned Arabic. I think physically he's in great shape still. The way he jumps up to get those headers into the goal! Amazing tribute!

Tonye George July 16, 2024 at 9:45 PM The most followed man on Instagram. I love that he is loved and celebrated. I do not like football but whenever I sit to watch, I'm totally into it and that's the reason I run away. So I understand why people fancy it. A great piece about a legend. Success!

Jay Narain July 16, 2024 at 10:15 AM Its nice to see a real football poem about two great atheletes. The world cup is over, but the olympics are near.

Abdullah Alhemaidy July 16, 2024 at 7:25 AM Interesting! You do not often write about sports. Very nice read!

Joseph May July 15, 2024 at 11:28 AM The world cup title has eluded Ronaldo, Very nicely done

Ink Empress July 15, 2024 at 11:12 AM Does he? What language does he swear in? Haha. Im not a fan of ronaldo or man united. As you know but you did this form very well. Maybe i should take a minute to come up with something. Anyway, silent one you can pull off anything and any form and deliver poems that readers truly enjoy! I love how flawlessly your entire take flows from one to another. Clever and creative and very good bio of Ronaldo too. Messi being his rival and how he now plays as centre! Pleasure reading you! best wishes
