Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Clerihew

Ralphie Parker Vis-A-Vis Scud Farkus

It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker,

   Had a side to him that was somewhat darker.

      Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist,

         And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist!

Andrea Dietrich December 20, 2014 at 2:22 PM hmmm, I forgot who Farkus was in the movie. was it the bully who hated him? when You say beak, I am thinking of a bird. hahaha. good one. Robert L. Hinshaw December 20, 2014 at 2:58 PM Yep Farkus is the bully Ralphie thrashed in the alley! I use rhymezone as my dictionary for writing rather than the soup dictionary and it indicated beak is another word for nose. I was going to use schnoz but thought beak a bit wittier. Always great to hear from you. Bob h
