Jan Allison Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Sir Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall

Singer Sir Mick Jagger
Walks with a swagger
Wriggling snakelike hips
Pouts with big rubbery lips


Texan model Jerry Hall
Is very skinny and tall
Their Bali wedding wasn’t valid
Mick no longer lives on salad!

Sandra Haight January 16, 2019 at 5:05 PM Very clever, Jan! I learned some facts I didn't know! Congratulations on your fine placement in the contest. Hugs, Sandra Jan Allison January 19, 2019 at 10:14 AM I was horrified to read their marriage was annulled so her divorce settlement was less than if they were married It's not like he can't afford it! Hugs Jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire January 16, 2019 at 2:05 PM Mick's not the handsomest fella in the world, but he's dated some beautiful women. Nicely penned, Jan. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn Jan Allison January 19, 2019 at 9:30 AM Yes he sure has had his fair share of females in his life, jerry hall is now married to Rupert Murdoch.. he's in his 80s and she is his 4th wife I think! Mick had tragedy with l'wren Scott dying so tragically hugs Jan x

Janis Medders Tobechi January 14, 2019 at 11:48 AM I love this. Never knew about them so I did more reading thanks to your clever clerihew. Good luck in the contest. Jan Allison January 14, 2019 at 1:03 PM Thanks Janis:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf January 14, 2019 at 10:36 AM I just love the non-sequitur (for me, anyway) at the end of the second stanza. Still laughing... G.L. in the contest, Jan! :) gw Jan Allison January 14, 2019 at 1:03 PM I can only guess he must have a great lawyer to have the marriage annulled, they have 4 children together. I am sure she came out with a decent settlement but not as much if they had legally been married!@=_ hugs Jan xx

M. L. Kiser January 13, 2019 at 3:05 PM Good one, Jan...great pen. Jan Allison January 13, 2019 at 3:06 PM Thanks ML:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich January 11, 2019 at 8:14 PM Love how you did this. I know nothing about Mick Jagger's life these days. I barely followed him from the 60's but he sure made a huge impact on the world of music. VERY well done, Jan. Jan Allison January 12, 2019 at 1:17 AM I don't follow either but think one recent girlfriend L'Wren Scott committed suicide. hugs jan xx

Kim Rodrigues January 11, 2019 at 3:11 PM Love it! You are the humor queen! Jan Allison January 11, 2019 at 3:18 PM Thanks Kim, I was reading an article about jerry Hall marrying Rupert Murdoch was so surprised as he is so much older than her, she's his 4th wife hope they find happiness:-) hugs jan xx

Tom Cunningham January 11, 2019 at 2:57 PM Good one Jan, and he's still rocking lol. Good luck. Tom. Jan Allison January 11, 2019 at 3:00 PM I've never been much of a fan Tom but I'm told he is a great performer:-) hugs jan xx

Alexis Y. January 11, 2019 at 2:49 PM Lol! Jan, You nalied this challenge. I liked the couple you chose.So they weren't really married? It looks like a winner to me. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis Jan Allison January 11, 2019 at 2:59 PM The marriage was 'annulled' as it was declared it wasn't legal - I guess it would have made a huge difference to the 'settlement, she's now married media mogul Rupert Murdoch who at 87 is considerably older than she is. :-) hugs Jan xx
