Hedda Hopper 
wore many a fancy topper.
Louella Parsons hated her guts,
no ifs, ands, or buts.

I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for
information I obtained to write this clerihew.

Tarquin wore a top hat
Sometimes called a topper
He loved to wear his top hat
As he was prim and proper
One day while strolling casually
Not causing any fuss
A gust of wind blew off his hat
Which flattened it under a bus...

Who is she? We asked in hushed tones
For the aura and ambiance, she elicited were magical
We were in awe without even knowing her

She is the Christmas Topper Faerie.
Be extra quiet. She only chooses one tree to grace.
We held our breath, waiting....

It curd to me
(sorry I had to squeak that one in)
Not everybody can tolerate you
In fact some people think you outright stink
Sure you can be sharp
But you spread it on so thick and creamy

Please
Don't be blue
You are stronger than that
Besides
You do always have the best topper

It's just that it's a stretch
When the heat is on
Will you stay

Or will you melt away?...

Flannels warms the soft skin behind,
the silk topper brushes chin ward.
The air hangs heavy with the scent of lavender
and all is as it should be by moonlight.
Honeyed beams strike silver tendrils
tossed upon a pillow case.
Bhram's laces the sultry air.
Dark chocolate covers my tongue and lips
Chianti flows between breathes
and the night rises with upthrust hips
to crescendo in the the dark....

Sunset until daybreak
Mournful tears disperse
Grieving widow’s heartache
Rhyming woeful verse

Pencil topper lifted
Graphite scribbled prose
Candle holder shifted
Table's withered rose

Somewhere marvel science
Infant newly born
Crying pierces silence
Breaching early mourn

Joyful teardrops glisten
Mother’s newfound joy
Widow cannot listen
Whispers, “It’s a boy.”...

And all it happened
As i feared
Turned into life
A nightmare
When i touched the flame
I burned down
All my ashes
Lingered around
Seeing the sky
Lying on disgust
Can never bring stars
Into your palm anigh.
Awake
And revive
From those ashes
And burn down those stars 
With victory of crashes.

Being Jemima
Aunt Jemima! Who in God’s name
Came up with that name?
Molded polyurethane encasing
Thick sweet amber
You didn’t even think enuf of me
To give me decent clothes

I can do better than smother hotcakes
Take this kerchief off my head, you hear?
I ain’t no maid, no servant, no flapjack topper
Get me off this table and let me be what
I was destined to be, what I’m free to be.
Aunt Jemima. Really. What’s takin’ so long?

SCHOOL


                                     SCHOOL 
                                      as my
                                 second home.

                              I studied, enjoyed
                             and was treated special.
                             Recognised as a topper.

Pink tulip please the merry nuthatch said.
On your lapel? Oh no. On my head.
It has such fragrance, fancy indeed.
I’d wear it proudly with my feathered tweed.

An acorn topper for me, oh please.
Shy cardinal said to the passing breeze.
Fashion me a cap of gold thread said Ted.
He loved a bit of royalty on his head.

A red hummingbird had naught to say.
Quickly turned tail and flew away.
Robin politely waited for her turn.
These bird hat preferences made my ears burn....

Christmas Rhymes

Christmas is my favorite time of the year.
People are filled with goodwill and holiday cheer. 
Tis the season to be jolly.
Girls are hoping for brand-new, dollies.
Presents are under the Christmas tree.
It is decorated perfectly. 
Red, silver, and green decorated balls.
Silver tinsel, and an angel topper completes it all. 
This describes homes with the Christmas tree.
Childrens faces illuminate with glee.
As they look at their presents under the Christmas tree....
