Double Clerihew

A chapter in the book My Life in words

Slapstick Charlie.

by Jaq Cee


Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin
all was quiet when he was filming.
In black and white
he was such a delight.

Chaplin, Charles Spencer "Charlie",
always left you feeling happy,
with slapstick, miming
and comic timing.

Writing Prompt
A Clerihew is a specific kind of short humorous verse. It typically contains the following properties:

Example:
Bruce Lee,
as all will agree,
was a great fighter.
None could clench their fists tighter.
------------------------------------
Lee, Bruce
could really spruce
it up on the big screen,
but rough you up behind the scene.

Be creative, and have fun!
