Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

Where There's That Much Smoke

I said, "They're opportunists"
			when just a few accused,
			but  soon a throng of sixty-plus
			cried out, "We've been abused!"

			His reputation's gone to pot.
			Cliff Huxtable--he's not.

29 words         written for the Fallen in 25-30 Words Poetry Contest


Bill Cosby played Dr. Cliff Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" (1984-92).
