Joe Namath Clerihew

The Jets' superstar, "Joe Willie Whiteshoes,"

loved baseball, golf, women, and booze.

With bad knees and his sports career dead,

he modeled Hanes pantyhose instead!

Here is the link you can copy and paste to see
his modeling career with pantyhose!

I'm glad you picked a clerihew for this poem. One of my favorite forms. My exposure on the soup has gone down since we have been rebuilding an old house in upper state SC close to the kids. Have to get in position for our old age. Ha ha, as if not there already.
