I like the clerihew form but haven't written one in years! Nice work!

No time like the present to try a clerihew. They're nice and short, at least! Thanks for stopping by my site and for commenting too, J.R. Cheers, Gershon

Yes, a very sad disease, one which decimated Gerhrig so quickly, and which is still unsolved today. Happy Thoughts to you! ~ Gershon
