Robert A. Dufresne Poet Clerihew

David Davy Crockett

Frontiersman David (Davy) Crockett,
Often lived on dried fish and jerky kept in his pocket,
Wore caps made from the skin of varmints various,
The odour, ..no doubt, ... was nefarious.

Carolyn Devonshire February 9, 2011 at 4:35 PM The poem is funny, Robert, and I think Davy had a sense of humor and would have enjoyed it. I just mentioned the Trail of Tears because I have so much admiration for the way he tried to stand up for the rights of Native Americans. Love, Carolyn
