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

I have fond memories of The Jeffersons, and Florence was one of my favorites, her dynamic with George was priceless!

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
