FIRST PLACE

Submitted into Flash Challenge, Mark Toney, Clerihew

George Bernard Shaw,
A critic with a vein of comedy and language, quite raw;
He wrote in a movable shack, he liked photography now and then,
Ladies man, died at 94, cremated and planted in his garden.

lovely informative write about Shaw - when I worked at the care home on the moors, there was a nice old boy in his 90s - a poet - & he'd met Shaw once but was too much in awe of his hero to actually speak to him

Brilliant, unimposing man. Your verse is a tribute to his greatness and his eccentricities. Nice!

I've always enjoyed Shaw, Constance. Didn't know he grove up in a shack like that. Amazing how much success he earned. Best wishes for a big win in Brian's contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Carolyn, thanks for visiting and commenting, yes apparently he liked to write in this little shack in his garden and would move it to different places, I can understand this _Constance
