Wyatt Earp

Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp
knew how to snag a gun totin' perp,
loved the ladies, but never liquor.
He was a habitual ice cream licker! 

For Kim's Cleri-who? Contest, 5/31/15

Ladies beat liquor any day...Congratulations dear friend with this clever and witty Clerihew. I didn't know Wyatt was an ice cream addict...That makes two of us - Tim (The Butter Pecan junkie)

Ladies and ice cream...Wyatt was one wild guy! Thanks for the visit and congrats, Tim. (If you put a scoop of fudge brownie on top of that butter pecan, a little hot fudge and a little whip cream, you've made a bowl of perfection, my friend!)

Rhonda, what a clever and wonderful clerihew for the contest, best of luck and thank you for visiting my poem, shameonyou . . I have been looking at the poetry of EE Cummings lately and I admire his style of writing, he was totally unique, so he is inspiring me these last few days

I can see how you were inspired. You did great writing in his style.
