Here we go, O J Simpson
sour juice, "No thanks"-can we move on?
found innocent, on two counts,"Killin".
Shoulda stayed Black, now how u feelin?

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post my poem here or click the 'new thread' first? Since I see others have posted here, hope it's ok if I do the same...

That crazy guy, Osama Bin Laden
can live in a cave until he turns rotten,
but how in the middle of nowhere can he
have microphones, cameras and cable tv?

Nice one on Osama! I think you caught the essence of Clerihew there.

Loved the Osama Clerihew!!!!! Spot on!!!

Thank you all so much for the nice replies. I must have sat there for about an hour trying to rhyme with famous names, lol. It was fun though.

Thanks so much!

Too funny! Ms. Tree....

Here is my little offering...
1.
We serve such an awesome God
He says don't spoil the child or spare the rod
but I can see him getting hoppingly mad, pulling his beard
standing right here beside us attempting to be heard

2.
I heard of the great and wonderful Oz
...so I wanted to know more just cuz
He promises heart, brains and courage
...and I'll send my man before our marriage

Sheri, that was tight! Good one on Osama!!
