Dear Doctor by Shirley Ann Bunyan
Clerihew writing prompt entry

 

If your cousin’s a weirdo, your wife is a drunk or your ma-in-law’s mentally ill,
just write it all down in a list of the issues and send it to Dr Phil.
He’ll sit you on stage while you rant and rage before cameras and studio lights.
He’ll tell you what’s wrong as he chuckles along, then pays experts to put it all right.



Writing Prompt
A Clerihew is a silly or humorous poem about a famous person:

*four lines
*rhyme scheme of AABB
*one stanza

Clerihew poems are funny and they often involve word play. The poems generally lack a recognizable meter which adds to the lighthearted and sometimes silly tone.

Ex:

Geoffrey Chaucer

Took a bath (in a saucer)

In consequence of certain hints

Dropped by the Black Prince.

~~~by Edmund Clerihew Bently
