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. ________________________________ May 27, 2015 Poetry/Clerihew/George Bernard Shaw Copyright Protected, ID 05-677-690-27 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Cleri-who?, sponsor, Kim Merryman, Judged 2015 8th Place
