A poetry contest for DU!
I heard on the early-morning news this morning that today is National Clarihew Day. What's a clarihew? Well, apparently it is a four-line poem that mentions a person (think Ogden Nash). I naturally thought this would be a great opportunity to see what great poets DU might have. I've written a pair to get you started:


Now tell me, what dire punishment
Should be given to our president?
I think Georgie Porgie Bush
should get a big slap on the tush.

His country's future's looking somber
But he just wants a nuclear bomber.
Bush has got a bitter pill
to swallow in that Kim Jong-Il.


Your turn! And remember to :kick: :kick: :kick: for National Clarihew Day!

1. OK, I'll play
If for dinner
Anyone I could invite
It'd be Skinner
Ali, and Sir Reginald Dwight

Not sure if that follows the rules since it mentions more than one person.

2. heh
Bush, Cheney, Condi, Rummy,
Hide behind our country's flag,
Occupy two sovereign countries,
Look! Another dog to wag.

3. A Texas clod, a baron failed, who swears he’s God
A smirking chimp, a shallow son, who won on fraud,
An uncrowned prince, a boorish chief, who wears no clothes,
Driving a herd of obtuse sheep, leading a land of myopic droves.

4. Daydream
Whenever I see the stripes and stars
I dream of George Bush behind bars
Serving life for all his crimes
Then reincarnated as a cockroach, many times
