Clerihews - Mickey and Scooby Doo

There lives a little mouse called Mickey

As sweet as honey and happy-go-lucky

Yellow are his shoes and shorts red hot

Blessed chap is now Disney’s mascot!

Shaggy so loved his pet dog Scooby Doo

Playful and inseparable were these two

But went kaput terribly, all their pranks

Still, they remained best of the friends!

Two Clerihews

Two Clerihews on Jack Dawson, the hapless hero of the movie 'Titanic' and Kim, the protagonist of the novel 'Kim' by Sir Rudyard Kipling.

Cupid struck rich Rose and poor Jack

Their love was pure but luck it did lack

They met on ‘Titanic’, the ship ill-fated

Jack drowned but Rose lived till eighties!

 An Irish boy was known as Kim

His life took an interesting turn

A monk made him one fine day

His travel aide, as the people say

Clerihews

A ‘Clerihew’ is a silly and funny four line poem. The name comes from Edmund Clerihew Bentley, who pioneered this form. These poems are about a specific person or a character and the second line has to rhyme with the subject’s name. The scheme is AABB. Here, I have written three of them on Alice, Uncle Scrooge and Misha, the bear of the ‘Misha’ magazine that was published from USSR in early 90s and was quite popular. I was crazy about it! This is my first attempt in writing Clerihews; I hope you will like them! Suggestions and comments are most welcome!

There was once a dreamy girl called Alice

Whose heart was pure and free of malice

She saw a rabbit holding a watch in hand

Chased him and entered the wonderland!

 Too stingy was the rich Uncle Scrooge

He wore specs and his wealth was huge

And loved his money more than his life

That’s why he stayed single, sans a wife!

There was once a bear named Misha

He was cute and lived in frosty Russia

But he gathered quite an enviable fame

A hit magazine came out in his name!
