Clerihews
A Clerihew is a four-line poem that makes a brief, humorous statement about a person. It is named after Edmund Clerihew Bentley.I have a friend named Taylor
She doesn’t have an inhaler
She doesn’t take pills
But she does roll down hills
There’s a show called Hannah Montana
She eats a lot of bananas
She has a great show
Everybody
must
know

Poor little molly
She isn’t very jolly
She wants to go play with a bird
But everybody will call her a nerd.
Silly old john
He had to mow his lawn
At first he got really sad
But he realized it wasn’t that bad Breanna Y
This
girl named Katie
Who
reminds me of a baby?
While
she cries and while she plays
And
spends most of her days
My
friend Jenny
Likes
pennies
She
says they are very small
And
looks like a
ball

One day crystal
Stepped on a thistle
And then she bled
Before
she was
fed. Crystal
Miss
carry Anne
Kissing
a frog on a can
Thought
it was her bird
Then
came her pigs in a giant herd
Little
Anne May
Jumped
in some hay.
Some
rats came out.
Then
she gave a little shout. Shelby
On the tree sat little May.
Wondering why it’s a sunny day.
Then she saw a big dog
Sitting on a big brown log.
Up the hill ran big Bob
Being a nasty little snob
He hit a little boy
Who was holding a golden toy Desiraeo
A fellow named Chris
Gave his girlfriend a kiss
Even though it was candy
He said it felt dandy.
My friend Tammy
Said hi to her Grammy
And gave her a big hug
So she felt all warm and snug. Emily B
Little Ted
Who wants to get in bed?
Cause he had a hard day
It’s not time to play
There is Jim
He likes to swim
Jim is good and cool
Who
likes to
drool?

There was a boy named Sam
His mom liked to make jam.
He ate it with his toes
And smelled it with his nose
Little silly Sally Joe
Was on her way to the show.
Ran into a kitty cat.
And it made her tip her hat. Madison
There is Pat.
There he sat.
Where he fell
Was a shell.
There is Brandon
Fell in a cannon.
He got a shot
Into
a
pot.

On the sand sat Jim
He as afraid he couldn’t swim
In the ocean where the water is high
Watching the swimmers go by and by.
In the tree sat Mat
Who broke a limb for a bat.
He hit the tree real bad.
After that the tree yelled at Mat. Roman V.
Little Alton Moore
Waiting by the door
Lost his keys somewhere
And doesn’t remember where
My name is Tinkerbelle
I don’t remember well
I lost my teddy bear
We don’t remember where Ariel
Little
red
Sat
next to her bed.
And
she was sad.
Because
she was bad. Shayla
