Gershon Wolf Poet Clerihew

Lou Gehrig, Peerless

I'm the luckiest man on earth, Lou Gehrig had said
Two months later, the greatest Yankee was dead
   Gehrig suffered from ALS, a fatal disease
   He peered beyond the pain, his words a fresh breeze

Jessica Renee Dawson November 23, 2019 at 4:26 PM I like the clerihew form but haven't written one in years! Nice work! Gershon Wolf November 23, 2019 at 6:53 PM 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

Sandra Adams November 22, 2019 at 7:53 PM good penning on this one...i once knew someone will Als... sad disease... hugs :) Gershon Wolf November 23, 2019 at 6:51 PM Yes, a very sad disease, one which decimated Gerhrig so quickly, and which is still unsolved today. Happy Thoughts to you! ~ Gershon Caren Krutsinger November 23, 2019 at 7:10 AM It is a sad disease. Loved the movie about him.
