Timothy Hicks Poet Clerihew

The Evolution of Music

Billy Joel's stories were top notch
Always enjoyed his music very much
He claimed only the good die young
So what have you been up to my old chum?

Grew up with bands like Three Days Grace
With mad Gontier screaming in my face
Bobbed my head to the heavy sound
But the constant rage really brought me down

Now there's kids like Justin Bieber
I claim bubonic, they say it's fever
Not his "music" that makes people stare
It's because of that ridiculous hair!

Laura Breidenthal April 8, 2016 at 3:47 AM Excellent one, Timothy. Such a great sense of humor. It seems people have (sort of) calmed down about Bieber lately - which is a good thing. I did hear his new album is good, but I haven't checked it out. Yessum, loved Three Days Grace, still listen to them from time to time, among other heavier bands. Good stuff! Always, Laura

John Posey March 16, 2013 at 11:16 AM Hmmm, I can only cast an aging vote for Perry Como..... Great post, Timothy..... Jake Timothy Hicks March 16, 2013 at 2:42 PM Don't really know who Perry Como is... not quite my generation (but then again neither is Joel, lol)... thanks John!

Dinda Minardi March 16, 2013 at 8:27 AM hahahaha.. just cant stop laughing at ur closing lines. Yeah I absolutely agree with you. Timothy Hicks March 16, 2013 at 2:42 PM Thanks as always Dinda! I find clerihews much more fun to write than limericks... and plus you get to poke fun at famous people, haha...

Eileen Manassian March 16, 2013 at 12:54 AM HEE HEE! Joel was great....Don't know the rest. as for Bieber...he has one or two good ones, and he has changed his hair style so...maybe you have to perk your ears up a little more to hear the good lyrics! ;) Timothy Hicks March 16, 2013 at 2:40 PM Billy Joel is one of my favorites when it comes to the older music. I try to be open-minded about the newer and popular artists... but I really can't get myself to like Bieber whatsoever... lol!
