Sparky (a clerihew)

(note: CLERIHEW is the name of a kind of comical verse which has two couplets and a rhyming scheme aabb. thought I would try one.)


My dog sparky
Does a lot of malarky.
When he knows you're returning
Lays on his back squirming.


[I am sort of trying out a few forms for fun. I hope you enjoy them or at least can bear with them. LOL]

'bear with them?' is it? Try getting rid of me! I'd say your 'try' has produced a lovely 'you did it'.. cool! (smile) katy.

Londis,

'Tis a poet brave that tackles the CLERIHEW,
Tried by many but mastered by few.
But you seem to have the hang of this verse.
It's pretty good (I've seen worse!)

i thought by the title and the catagory it was about the electric chair *whew* what a relief LOL

adorable poem...sounds like the dogs i used to have...beezers (a spitz) and sultan (a half wolf half chow)...i miss my pets *snif*

when beezers would lay on her back squirming, she'd also pee in excitement...my girlfriend would say, "she LEAKS!" LOL thanks for the memories

(((HUGS))) and love,

karla. :)
