Jan Allison Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Phoebe Buffay and Ross Geller

Phoebe Buffay 
Plays her guitar every day
She often sings ‘Smelly cat’
Sadly her voice is very flat

Ross Geller
Is quite a nerdy feller
He said Rachel’s name when he got wed
His bride Emily probably wished him dead!

Ross and Pheobe starred in Friends
