Emile Pinet Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Clerihew
The Clerihew is a biography that makes fun of a famous person. It tends to show the subject of the poem from an unusual point of view. It usually has 4 lines of irregular length and is metered for a comical effect. The Clerihew poem is not meant to be satirical or mean-spirited but does seek to show them in an absurd light that is not the norm for other poetry.

Yogi and Boo-Boo

Yogi bear loved to rob tourists of their lunch,
raiding picnic baskets for brunch.
Always on the lookout for the park ranger,
his antics grew even stranger.

Boo-Boo routinely got caught with pilfered snacks,
being Yogi's friend had drawbacks.
Tagging along on the promise of a treat,
he served the master of deceit.
