Carolyn Devonshire Poet Clerihew

David Williams

* In response to a challenge...


Had a big crush on David Williams;
All his verses read like plums.
But given his marriage of forty years,
I’ll quench my sorrow with a keg of beers.


This one's just for you, David.  All the smart, handsome ones are taken!
