The clerihew is clearly new A clever quip with classic hew But yet it’s quite corruptive too Contagiously consuming you It all began with teacher Nan Whose lookin good and nicely tanned And in her Jaguar hit the road With gypsy blood and quite a load And then guess who jumped on the barge But master quipper, poet Marge Her verse of Poe is such a guise She’s just a raven in disguise Then Dr. Moose lets out the juice And to a pulp he does reduce The circus man who ran the school That taught us how to play the fool Now Cindy’s really got the flair Some cleri-here some clari-there The truth be known, I clari-swear She’s got some Clairi in her hair (hews, that is) Titia boldly tried a few Of what they call a clari-hew But since she is so very nice Her clari-hews came out as spice Nan says Jeen is someone new Writing her first clari-hew But I freaked out on Number two Cause Ms. Blackburn’s in my pew She never does clean up the church And always leaves me in the lurch Enough of clarihews today I think I overdid the play I’m probably a target for A clarihew and so much more Liz |

Every morning Elizabeth writes Fine words to all of our delights It's hard for me to say sarcastic stuff Kind words for her can't be enough |

Nan, You're just too nice Thanks Cindy, I'm glad you liked the Clairol joke. You're such a good sport with these clerihews. Your's was so cute Titia, Your verses are laced with spice. You must have a kind heart. I was a little bit rough on Marge and the Dr. But I've been having fun with these keep writing! Liz |
