Constance La France Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

George Bernard Shaw

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.

Thomas Martin June 1, 2015 at 3:19 PM Funny, good one!!I remember in college hearing a remark abut a play Shaw did not write: "Oh it would have been much funnier if Shaw wrote it!"
