A Clerihew is a comic verse on biographical topics consisting of two couplets and a specific rhyming scheme of aabb that was invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) at the age of 16. The poem names a well-known person or character on the first line and the second line rhymes with the name of the person. (information from Gayle at dVerse Poets Pub)
architect Frank Lloyd Wright
designed art glass as screens of light;
natural surprise when artful otter
swam through his house of Falling Water!
_______
Henry Ford
was never bored;
he mastered the assembly line
ten million T’s rolled out on dime.
_______
concession vendor, Ernest Hamwi
crisply sold his waffle pastry;
made cones for ice cream at World’s Fair
now world screams for their fair share!

You aced Ms. Clara Hewe, but hey, the limerick aspect is part of the fun for me:
So after 12 years Angelina is divorcing Brad Pitt,
getting 40 million for accomplishing it.
It seems his parenting style is too stern,
& her style he refuses to learn.

Each one made me smile Lynn, specially the first one. Love the form too~

After I “got over” limerick idea, I had fun with the form.

Very fun, Lynn. I got to know Wright’s work really well when I was a docent at NV Museum of Art and we had a major exhibit. Quite a character and artist.

Oh , I’d like to see an exhibit of his work!

My favorite is the first one. I grew up in the heart of Frank Lloyd Wright country and have always loved his creations.

Cool! Our local library is patterned after his architectural designs.
