Some Clerihews of Apology in Search of Brevity
Joe laments I have no heart
and must resort to vego art.
It's true I don't take any whale or birdy.
Better to be slight than wordy.
*
Joe's lit-crit is strong and sturdy.
He must be swallowing whale and birdy,
and tiger penis, yak with fleas
just like the Chinese.
*
Joe Alimone
was all alone -
the Thread was dead - he asked for flack.
This is the karmic kick-back.
*
Thanks Joe,
now I'll bestow
the dead poet's laurel wreath -
you flushed us turkeys from the heath.
