Notes About The Poem

Tania's Clerihew Contest ~ April 21, 2026

Estelle Getty

Ms. Estelle Getty
Her quips were sharp and petty
As a Golden Girl, Sophia spoke with wit
Her character made the show such a big hit

Are Estelle and Sophia one and the same. The names seem familiar to me . I just didn't watch that show much. You did a great job here. Congrats

What a great write for "Estelle Getty." I love what you did here/her/TV show. The reruns are the best. "Good Luck"  I did, "Alexander Graham Bell." Have a wonderful day writing away. Paula...........
