History With Humor

History With Humor Clerihew might follow you. And bring names fame without adieu. Whether views from ancient times Or in the news as modern lines Famous people must beware. Paparazzi roam everywhere. Private lives are set on hold. When fame has molded lives of gold. Clerihew poets write words down. Famous people in humor are found. Unfolding historical laughter. And snickers happily ever after. © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 22, 2010 Poetic form: Couplets Inspired to help myself remember the various short poems forms. Personal Goal: Write 20 short poems per day. Practice, practice, practice...
