Notes About The Poem

Famous Person Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin  August 28, 2024

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford of action movie fame
Han Solo, a hero's name he can claim
Though not a Jedi Knight
He fought for what was right
Always wound up with a beautiful dame

Then took the role of Indiana Jones
An archaeologitst who studied bones
Although he hated snakes
Indy had what it takes
An ample pair of courageous cajones

Thank you, Tania. It's Limerick form, so I didn't hesitate to add that ending. Thanks for the placement... fun contest.

He was young and charming as Han Solo, but I like the rugged, scruffy beard look of Indiana Jones. He's worn each role like a second skin. Thanks for the encouraging comments, David.

Like Jan, I’m stuck on who to write about. This is clever and witty… perhaps it’ll inspire me. Terry

Love the way you manage to get his last name in the last word, very funny . . . lol

You are quite clever to notice, and with a name like yours, you certainly should have. Only one other poet has mentioned that. Thanks, Indiana!

I wrote one about Putin and then John Lafitte, but neither sounded like a worthy person... but I sure did have fun bashing Putin. Thanks a lot, Jan. You will have no trouble write Limericks as soon as you decide who to use.

LOL Figured you'd like that line, Tom. He's fantastic in every movie he's been in. When in college, my daughter took a class of filmography on him. Watching Harrison Ford movies must have been a tough class. As if!
