Just for Fun

I learned a new poetic form today. It's called the clerihew and is meant to be humorous. While I can't post my poetry in here if I have any plans to try to publish it elsewhere (publishing laws are strange in this electronic age), I was just having fun this morning. I thought, after all the heaviness of most of my posts, I would send a little lightheartedness your way. Enjoy! :)

ALEXANDER
His mother named him Alexander.
He speaks with such refreshing candor.

His brain is packed with lots of facts.
He is, by gosh, a class A act.


KATE
For short, we all just call her Kate.
Clearly now that is her fate.

A princess she was meant to be;
that's plain as day, for all to see.

BRENDAN
My baby’s name is simply Brendan.
Christmas Eve was homeward bendin’

on the day he came to stay,
decided he would join the fray.
