David Crandall Poet Clerihew

Elmer Fudd

Elmer Fudd
is my hunting bud.
We're gonna get that pesky rabbit. 
We're gonna grab it.

One thing that I can say about Fudd,
he was out to get Bugg's blood. 
I'm sorry to say,
always, to this day, 
his big aspirations went thud.

Do you think he'd have better luck
if he tried to get Daffy Duck?
I admit, Elmer's just a cartoon,
that I watched Saturday, 'til noon.

Oliver Mckeithan February 18, 2025 at 4:58 AM LOL. Love it Dave. I liked watching him too. Now a days though it is politically incorrect to show someone with a gun so I heard the studio was going to show him without one. Too bad. Anyway good poem David Crandall February 18, 2025 at 9:57 AM Thanks Oliver! Interesting.

Vanya Evangeline February 18, 2025 at 12:15 AM Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit~~ For some reason, I've always rooted on the "hunter" in these kinds of cartoons (Elmer, Tom, Sylvester, Coyote), and share their frustrations when their aspirations went thud haha David Crandall February 18, 2025 at 9:55 AM Oh yeah, Tweety Bird, really asking for it, and the Coyote - heartbreaking - lol!

Mahtab Bangalee February 17, 2025 at 11:01 PM Inventive technology comes to enjoy life easily but often we use this meaninglessly... enjoyed your poetic theme. David Crandall February 18, 2025 at 9:53 AM Thanks Mahtab! In seriousness, if you're talking about guns, personally, I would never own one, and I'm for the strictest gun control. The technology of animated cartoons, on the other hand, in my view, is society's crowning achievement.

Deb M February 17, 2025 at 10:31 PM Hehe enjoyed the trip down memory lane David with this fun poem! Debx David Crandall February 18, 2025 at 9:54 AM Glad you enjoyed Deb!

Hilda Greenhough February 17, 2025 at 9:03 PM You took me back to childhood. I liked Elmer Fudd. I think I liked Scrooge McDuck best. He seemed to be good at decision making. Nice poem. David Crandall February 17, 2025 at 9:26 PM Scrooge McDuck - a classic!

Kim Rodrigues February 17, 2025 at 5:19 PM I suppose our parents thought we spent too much time in front of the tv…fun cartoons on Saturday mornings and yes, church on Sunday mornings. Hopeful people will go back to church. Blessings, David! David Crandall February 17, 2025 at 9:27 PM Thanks Kim - Yep, then it was TV, now it's iPhones - lol!
