Six of Three and a Couple Extra For Me

Richard clerihewed me yesterday Why the nerve, I should have got him first I say Then I laugh still wondering if clerihewed is a word Realizing that many conventions in our language are up surd The Clown of Clerihews, what a moniker Moe would say I could probably write a lot of these everyday The ballade though, not a form for a dummy If I can convince ForDummies publishing, surely I'll make money I'm butchering the king's English Curly would say As a child I'd watch three stooges reruns everyday Yes at that time Curly was my favorite of the three A poem with nyuk, nyuk nyuk, is a sight to see I'm not sure what Larry would add Being the only of the original four from a different dad A musician yes, a great violinist they say Healy said he pay him $90 a week and extra $10 to throw that fiddle away What about Shemp can't forget the other brother Yes Shemp, Moe, and Curly had the same mother In the latter years I've grown to like him as well He was actually one of the original two, or so they tell Joe Besser, hah, definitely the lame duck Being Jewish, I'm sure the other three would call him a smuck Some of his appearances I have to tolerate I'm a fan of the other two with him, so I can't hate One more for Stinky Davis, as he was called on Albert and Costello A role he played, definitely not the role of a hero They all said he wouldn't take a pie in the face Did he not know the other 40 years of stooges history, what a disgrace I purposely left Joe DeRita or Curly Joe He had two stints with The Stooges I know Was the one short film Snow White and I have him below Joe Besser, that can't be grand I guess ThePhilosopher, now lower shouldn't judge In the 50's he didn't even live a nudge I was born quiet a while later Ok I admit it, of Joe I'm a hater Even having fun in my hate of Joe Besser lol. He had a very extensive acting career, and there was a reason he was allowed to be there without taking pies in the face. He was actually acting out his own character that he developed over his comedy career, so that's kind of impressive. After posting had to add in Joe DeRita, or Curly Joe, lest you thought I forgot his important roles lol
