Roseann Barr

Trump supporter Roseann Barr

at a baseball game acted bizarre.

She sang our anthem in a screeching sound,

grabbed her crotch and then spit on the ground.

Yep, I watched her do it.... But in her defense she is a comedian, what the heck did they expect? They should've never asked her to do it in the first place, they know she can't sing. I liked your poem tho Andrea because you managed to get in the whole story in that tiny Clerihew. Bravo! ; )

Sounds like the poor dear needed an athletic supporter (aka 'jockstrap'). LOL! Thanks for the chuckle, Andrea! ~ Gershon

Yes, Roseanne surely got away with a lot until one ABC executive decided she had crossed the line. Frankly, I feel bad that other actors were affected by her show's cancellation, but the exec made a bold move in the right direction. Outstanding clerihew, Andrea! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn

I remember that. I still don't know what she was thinking nor why they hired her to sing in the first place. Even so, I didn't understand what all the fuss was about afterward. She a comic!

I always thought that was funny. After all, she’s a comedienne not a singer. :)

Yes, it was the people asking her to sing who should be blamed if people did not like what she did. You are right!! People sure made a big deal out of it, so now I can do a clerihew about it. heehee

I saw the video, Andrea. Thanks for posting. It once again reminded me how disgusting a personality she is..everybody makes a mistake ..but most genuinely feel sorry afterwards. You captured her well.
