Maurice Yvonne January 6, 2015 at 6:17 PM This would of been one of the top of my list. Pure genius to have done a Clerihew of the designer of the periodic elemental table. Plus it is an excellent classis Clerihew. One could use this as an example of the form. Congratulations on your win, but one more win from me add this to my favs. Paul Callus January 7, 2015 at 10:30 AM I am always much impressed by your comments, Armand! Thank you, especially for the fav and making time to stop by to read and comment. Hope you're keeping well. Take care. // paul

Andrea Dietrich January 2, 2015 at 8:09 PM we nearly got down to zero degrees, f. of course. I am not sure what that is in centigrade!! Paul Callus January 3, 2015 at 8:51 AM Hi Andrea...it's lovely and sunny today, but the air is cold; temp went down to 4C one night this week. Hard to heat our houses! Have a nice weekend. // paul

Richard Lamoureux January 2, 2015 at 8:35 AM I love intelligent writing! This tops the chart! Paul Callus January 2, 2015 at 10:30 AM Glad you like it Richard. I needed to write something different, but trying for uniqueness does not always work out! Thanks for stopping by. // paul

Eileen Manassian January 1, 2015 at 4:43 AM How different. Loved this. Hmmmmm....anything with your name on it catches my attention, Paul. I hope you do well with this write. :) Glad you slept in...I had a lovely family sleep over at my brother's place. I must say....it's been a good start to the year. HUGS Paul Callus January 1, 2015 at 7:43 AM Glad to know that the new year gave you a smile! Being with family on such an occasion is an added bonus. Watching the movie "Annie", yesterday, brought to mind the many who have no family to share things with. Thank you for being one of the first to pay me a new year's visit:) hugs // paul

Paul Callus January 1, 2015 at 4:33 AM Hi Andrea! Started the new year by sleeping in...an extra hour! Weather suddenly turned cold....the lowest in these last 30 years! Glad you saw the positive side of this Clerihew; chemistry was never my top subject:) All the best!! // paul

Tim Ryerson December 31, 2014 at 8:44 PM Perfectly done Clerihew Paul with a history lesson to boot! The last line is an intelligent and brain-teasing question. And the winner is...

Gary Bateman December 31, 2014 at 7:49 PM Paul, This is really a different theme indeed. You've got my vote in the contest regardless. Best of Luck and a Happy New Year "Seven" from me!! Best Always, Gary Paul Callus January 1, 2015 at 7:48 AM Thank you for the New Year visit, Gary! Yes, this is quite different from usual....no love and passion, but symbols instead!
