The best thing about Clive

Is that he is no longer alive.

There's a lot to be said

for being dead.
Larry is always busy.

He's studying to be a lawyer so he's in a tizzy.

But when I see him he gives me a big smile.

Hey Larry! It's been a while!

Sally is quite the poet

When she write a good gazal, she knows it.

But sometimes they all sound the same,

Because Sally is a boring name.
Jordan, my dear old buddy

These tasks created for us are so nutty!

Yet I can count you one of the most reliable of men:

Providing distraction since waaaaay back when.

Hopes the day is won.

He made a post about rhymes for a friend

In hopes of more readers by Friday's end.

My friend Fran

Has got a plan

To get us all in blissful relationships

Without compromising our standards with dry, chapped lips.

----

Michael Chateuneuf

Likes to know stuff.

Unfortunately, lessons by Anton Chekhov and Brian Friel

Are all that appeal.

----

Donald Anderson

Lives six blocks from the street I'm on.

But we never hang out

Because I'm a sorry lout.

----

Brad Pitt

Can go eat shit.

Because he doesn't want to marry me.

What a jerk.

Brianne Witt

Is better than Brad Pitt.

(Though we haven't yet become engaged,

Since that might make her man enraged.)

I didn't know a girl named Ellie

Was frequenting this site--O Nelly!

Now that's a person I dearly miss;

I hope something becomes of this.

P.S. Holy crap. This is so fun. I could do this all day.

"Jordan's mom"

it reads like a song

You may thing this subject is trite and tired and that, by all means, I am entirely despicable

But we know that it's all in jest and really it's not becoming of you to be so effrickable

Jordan's beard,

so tall and so fair,

disguises the effeminate man (uh).

Of course, I speak of the beard we all call Hannah.

Michael Buchino

Is all about whiskerino.

He's a rawk gawd, a champ, and a binger

Even if his beard is a bit ginger.

My roommate is one awesome Tron

She'll sing songs from old musiclas with me 'til dawn

Though she often uses her voice to make my cat a-fraidy

It's also great crooning "Luck Be A Lady."

Oh my gosh, I'm catching clerihew fever.

I like Kaitlyn Chantry

She seems to have the key

Through her delight in learning new things

She gives my curiosity little wings!

My boss is named Sherene

She tends to be a tad bit mean

I wish her tyranny would end

But maybe she just needs a friend.

Nach, it's been near a decade, now,

That we've shared such a wonderful friendship...wow!

And yet, when we're old and the length of our friendships a "doozy"

I promise to never stop calling you "Boozie."

1,2!

when we go to drink some beeracles

at the bar they call Miracle.
Hillary Rodham

everyone and their mama.

But really, she's just f*cking Obama.
