Dear Paul, now I'm having to go farther down your lists to find poems I haven't read. This is adorable and I bet the Soup's own "Olive" felt honored by this witty tribute. Love, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn...thank you for the endless support I receive from you:) A Clerihew is supposed to be written with a vip in mind, but I could not resist writing one for soup's own young and adorable 'mascot' !! hugs // paul

Wow! I just thought: "A Clerihew in Maltese must be fun to, right?" This English Clerihew is awesome. alsoI like the book "Biography for Beginners" (1905), by E. C. Bentley (inventor of this Form), have you read it? I love your Poems and Comments. Sahha!!!.

Paul Callus
Date: 5/19/2014 10:54:00 AM

To tell you the truth I have never written one in Maltese, but now I will! No, I haven't read that book; what I know is that Bentley's 2nd name was Clerihew:) cu (narak) my friend. // paul

aww a lovely poem, reminds me of a poem i wrote, its about liking some one but been too scared to say anything, and thanks for your feed back on my poem forbidden love, it was written just for poetry, and there is always hope.

Paul Callus
Date: 5/18/2014 5:30:00 PM

Hi Diane! So lovely to have you stopping by! Yes, this poem speaks of the same experience you wrote about, but in a witty way, while your poem must have been on the sad side. (I have no doubt you were not speaking from personal experience in 'forbidden love' :)) // paul
