Andrea Dietrich Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Young Rob Lowe:

Today and still staying married!

Rob Lowe

Good actor, yet Razzie Award winner, Rob Lowe,
was one of People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” although
his hair he has dyed since the day
in his twenty-fourth year that he says he went grey!

A prime role was once offered Rob Lowe:
“Doctor McDreamy” on a hit show.
But he took on instead
two lame shows that went dead,
having stupidly let "West Wing" go!

In the 80’s a sex scandal plagued young Rob, yet
an Emmy for "West Wing" this comeback kid would get.
Also, his three-decade marriage has had no end!
This he attributes to marrying his best friend.

Gershon Wolf September 29, 2019 at 1:26 PM If I were female, I would swoon for Rob. And not a bad actor either... Nice write, Andrea. Congrats on your placement in the contest (right above me). Smiles, Gershon Andrea Dietrich September 29, 2019 at 1:59 PM haha, he is definitely swoonable-worthy!

Jeanne Mcgee September 28, 2019 at 11:21 PM He's still a McDreamy type even without the role...congratulations on your win.

Joseph May September 28, 2019 at 9:22 PM Love the ending lines Andrea, Congrats on your win

Mark Toney September 28, 2019 at 5:58 PM Rob Lowe's life is a study in contrasts, and you present it well, Andrea. This was both fun to read and reassuring to me. Another example where marriage wins! Congratulations on your win! ~Mark

Panagiota Romios September 19, 2019 at 12:39 PM People get joy out of ruining others! I don't get it. Yet I do! . Speaking of hair dye, I started going gray in my 20's. It's not a character defect it's inherited. One does not wake up all gray, it sneaks in. As if nobody in Hollywood dyes their hair, He is not liked by the Left. And he has never insulted or cursed them out. He's no drunk, druggie, womanizer or molester. Sorry, this made me sad Andrea. So many creeps in Hollywood...but they are adorable? Panagiota. Andrea Dietrich September 19, 2019 at 8:12 PM it's cool to know that you think so highly of him . I think the sex video from his youth was just a stupid thing he did. He has a good marriage . After almost 30 years this proves he is not a bad person. Andrea Dietrich September 19, 2019 at 8:12 PM why did my poem make you sad?

Alexis Y. September 18, 2019 at 8:51 AM Hi Andrea, Rob Lowe still looks handsome. I had no idea he was offered the role on Grey's Anatomy. You learn something new every day. Having a long marriage in Hollywood is very rare so kudos to him and his wife. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Caren Krutsinger September 18, 2019 at 6:28 AM The ending is so nicely done. It brings it all back to what makes life "worth living".

Judy Ball September 16, 2019 at 10:49 PM Nice job Andrea. I added my Happy Birthday To Me poem forgetting that it was for a celebrity. lol Oh well, No harm done. ;) This one of yours is great though. Good luck in the contest. God Bless, JB
