Notes About The Poem

One if the greatest comedy skits was done by Abbott & Costello called "Who's on first". If you haven't seen it, you should goggle it. It's hilarious!                         For Clerihew Contest- Sponsored by Tania Kitchin

Lou Costello

Mr. Lou Costello 
He was a bubbly kind of fellow 
At the game of baseball, he was one the worst 
He can't even tell you- Who's on first!
