Clerihews

(Picture Credit - Eclipse Advantage)
 
 

Remember David Beckham

The footballing great from Peckham.

He would always bend it

So no-one could defend it.

-


Remember Johnny Giles

A player with all the wiles.

In midfield he did scheme:

For Leeds he was a dream.

-

Ping Pong World Champ Andrew Baggaley,

Wow that lad can really play.

Dethroned the “King” who came from Russia,
Then 1966d that kid from somewhere near Prussia.
-
I’m Cameron, call me Dave,
Power I do crave.
I’ll tell any story
To con you into voting Tory.
- 
Oh Nick Clegg,
Why did you have to beg
For a Tory-led Coalition,
Sending the Lib-Dems into Perdition?
-
Write a Clerihew:
It’s easy to do.
Two rhyming couplets of any length:
Short and simple, that’s its strength.
-
Nicole Scherzinger,
What a messenger.
A Friend so loyal,
Regally royal.
-
Quite a stink was created by Martin,
That's because he kept on....er.....departing.
His verses are so really clever:
Cheer us up in any weather.
-
All hail be to great Don Newton,
Always had a winning solution.
Played table tennis with flashing blade,
A Legend that will never fade.
-
A Clerihew
Just for you.
Find a rhyme for a name,
Play the poetry game.
-
That sporting bloke Dave Wagstaff
Played a lot of wiff waff.
That’s table tennis to me and you,
Waggy loves football and plays music too.
-
(on request) –
That (nee) Butters girl Elisabeth,
Her enemies find her the kiss of death!
Us Butterses don’t mess about,
Watch out or you will get a clout.
-
My sister Joan is now called Priestley,
A name that only rhymes with beastly (true!).
This family has a great tradition,
And Joan is such a fine addition.
-
Elizabeth Squires:
Aussie poet who inspires.
Mistress of so many a form,
Soon to take the world by storm.
-
My elder nephew’s called Nick Gamble,
Around the world he loves to ramble.
Always doing film production,
This lad needs no introduction.
-
My younger nephew, he’s called Phill. (His parents can’t spell).
On the stage he plays to thrill.
Acts any character, even a dame;
He’s master of the drama game.
-
My good friend Sandra Hall,
Is really on the ball.
When she plays tennis,
She’s a menace.
-
What can you say about Paula Shaw?
The only word has got to be phwoar!
Labour Party’s pin up girl.
Come on Paula, give us a twirl.
-
a)     A Clerihew
Is what I do\worth a view\just for you\rhyming couplets two…
b)    My Clerihews
Are in the news, getting views, you can’t refuse, do not abuse (They only poke fun)…
-
Harden Chip Shop Trace,
For service that is ace.
See how she wraps that Haddock,
Eat your heart out, Fanny Craddock.
-
Olly Murs
Alecia purrs.
She’d have him singing his song
Wearing a thong.
