William Shakespeare's plays
deserve a lot of praise.
He wrote of love and tragedy
in sonnets, verse and poetry.
Paul McCartney
Set his heart free
Linda departed
Heather restarted
Prime Minister Howard
Deny's he's a coward
Sorry's not the word
For atrocities that occured.
(Note: In the period 1910 to 1970 between 1 in 3 and 1 in 10 Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families. The effects of such removal were, for most victims, negative, multiple and profoundly disabling. For those of you not in touch with Australian politics, this clerihew refers to Prime Minister Howards refusal to say the word "sorry" to the "Stolen Generation". He did though, express regret.)

But in the water
She'll lead you to slaughter.

To be a master bard

Leading this great poet quorum
Just A Mona Lisa (i)
A bit like Mother Teresa
Makes the written word
Living so it's heard
Just a Mona Lisa
Ate a piece of pizza
Musing as she ate a slice
Licked her fingers 'that was nice'

She's been hurt and felt great pain
In time she'll grow to love again
