Don Knotts

Mr. Don knotts,
He was known for his comedic crackpots.
As the infamous Landlord Mr. Furley,
he was jumpy and squirrley!

Great rhyme scheme here. I've read that Knotts was not the bumbling oaf that he played on TV. He even played a ladies man in a movie! Great work.

He played both parts with spirit and personality. I enjoyed him also on Matlock where he made several guest appearances - again quite in character but maturing like his friend, Andy. Great clerihew, Tania to motivate entries
