Alexis Y. Poet Clerihew

George and Florence

George Jefferson 
Was his mother’s son
He bought a cleaners; got rich
Settled in the east side, found his niche


Florence Johnson 
Didn't hail from Wisconsin 
Was a no-nonsense taking maid
Sometimes her chores were delayed 







* Comedy Tv Show: The Jeffersons

Janice Canerdy September 30, 2021 at 5:28 AM I used to laugh out loud at that show! Good job, Alexis. Janice

Sara Kendrick September 29, 2021 at 2:18 PM I remember the program from long ago but it could still be on somewhere. Enjoyed reading your Clerihew. Reads like a good contender to me but I haven't looked at the contest. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara
