Caren Krutsinger Poet Clerihew

Elizabeth Taylor's Valentines Day Fun

Miss Elizabeth Taylor
married everyone she met but Norman Mailer
Received many valentines day boxes
for she was sly as reddish foxes.

Princess Di met one nice guy
Having no idea he loved one who was married.
She is now an angel in the sky,
And he is with his soulmate, who looks quite harried.

Gershon Wolf January 13, 2019 at 7:44 PM Are you SURE about Mailer? (LOL)… G.L. in the contest, Caren! :) gw Caren Krutsinger January 14, 2019 at 7:54 AM I withdrew it from the contest. It was not what it was supposed to be for that but I am NOT sure about Mailer. Looking that up now.

Ann Gilmour January 12, 2019 at 3:18 AM I really enjoyed this Caren; Elizabeth married everyone she met, such a good line, some even twice, haha! Good luck in the contest. Kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger January 14, 2019 at 7:55 AM I loved Elizabeth Taylor, so of course, I was only being funny, not mean.

Bernard Chan January 11, 2019 at 7:57 PM This is a really fun read, Caren. And "harried" is spot-on! :) Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 10:45 PM Thank you Bernard. I thought it was too.

Andrea Dietrich January 11, 2019 at 7:43 PM I really like these, Caren, particularly the second one. The last line was so fun! I'm gonna go see something and then maybe send you a soupmail. Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 10:46 PM Andrea, I am running to SoupMail now. Thank you for keeping me honest my friend!

Bette Bavington January 11, 2019 at 2:55 PM This is interesting. The one thing that rang out loud and true here is that neither one was happy. Good job. Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 5:12 PM Bette, thank you for picking up on that. I was thinking "who are two famous women who had riches and fame, but were not truly happy?" These two came to me instantly.

Nette Onclaud January 11, 2019 at 2:42 PM very witty, caren... well, both had a few men or more!...huggs Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 5:12 PM Thank you Nette. I did not know if you were "seasoned enough" to know either of these.

M. L. Kiser January 11, 2019 at 12:29 PM Now that is some interesting contrast! Very original. Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 5:13 PM Thank you. I had the first part finished when I posted it under the contest, and realized I had to throw another limerick together and rather quickly.

Charles Messina January 11, 2019 at 9:34 AM If I were her age, I would have married her too...lol Well done, Caren. Best wishes for a win in the contest...Charlie Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 10:03 AM Thank you Charles. I appreciate your views.

Jennifer Proxenos January 11, 2019 at 9:33 AM Hi Caren, Two such different characters, both famous, one a shrew and the other angelic! Excellent comparison! Poetry wishes, Jennifer. Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 10:03 AM I know; the contrast was so easy to figure out.

Joseph May January 11, 2019 at 8:29 AM Valentine's day boxes filled with diamonds!...Very nice Clerihews Caren.. Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2019 at 10:03 AM Thank you Joseph May. I thought so too.
