*Blushes* Mine would be Oscar Wilde! Dead and more interested in men, but that never stopped anyone Laughing!

I see- inside- the almond doughnut- puffs of space and air-
I sip- and spill- my latte grande- without care-
I have fainted- give me- your paper fan- Don-
And a Chinese junk- so I can sail- and frighten those beside the river Avon.

Baked Alaska
Under-arm deodorant
Flute
Ted Hughes mask
A baked Alaska sailed through the air
Missed the underarm deodorant with millimetres to spare.
Skimmed the flute,
And landed on the right cheek of my Ted Hughes mask, knocking out his cheroot.

Laughing

I knew a man who once had bought Oscar Wilde's underpants,
and Oscar Wilde's wildest necktie (polka dotted,) with which he aimed to dance.
The public threw rose water at his sorry face,
And he threw a black velvet box back; the whole thing was a bloody disgrace.

Hey, Wilso! Clerihew is a rhyme in which the syllables in each line are different: an example would be Clary's last one, which reads 9-15-3-17... but the syllables can be anything you like, as long as it's nothing like 8-8-8-8 or 10-10-10-10..

Polaroid camera
Basilica
Abacus
Alpen cereal

He took a Polaroid camera to the bath
Wrapped in a fax, wrapped in a photo of a garden path.
He stole an abacus from a Chinese seer
And stuffed Alpen cereal deep into his right ear.

I wonder'd lonely as a notelet
While carrying a tenor sax, a clarinet
And that old bugger in an opaque sack.
He stole my bodkin. Now he's never coming back.

The lines of a clerihew are long and particularly if they have to include a copy of 'As You Like It'.
I could associate Rosalind with a bobble, if Drom could psych it.
Fresh stawberries I don't know, as they lack an R
I xay, it's an X-ray machine with no R, too funny by far.

Very Happy
----------------------

The urn was held against the flimsy breeze,
The wreaths adorned the graveside, and the old trees
Basked in the blessing of a sunny day.
The long heat takes the relative further away.

The old certificate tells you I'm dead
Laclos, too, is dead, it's said.
Thousand Island sauce is yucky, pink and thick
And Louis XVI's decapitated head makes you feel sick.

Go from me. And leave no coriander leaves by my side.
Your antihistamine tablets hurt my pride
Just like those bird droppings on my head.
With this peach, if you don't shut up and go away, you'll be dead.

Lithium batteries are brighter and new
They light up the potty so baby can poo
I'm on a diet of vanilla-fat-free milkshake for a lark
It would be easier reading Middlemarch by George Eliot whilst sat in the dark.

Johann Sebastion Bach
Chemical bonding
Welland Ship Canal
Roman Road

Johann Sebastian Bach was a family man
Whose chemical bonding produced many a flash in the pan.
The Welland Ship Canal flows through fields of barley and wheat
And the longest Roman Road I know is Watling Street.

Jumpers and sweaters have so many uses
Not least of all to be used in propane gas abuses
They're better than a Cybershot digital camera for common assault,
I wear one when I try to mix red wine with salt.

A drop of vinegar helps to loosen a screw
Cooking apples are lush when put in a stew
Dante's Vita Nuova makes no sense at all
You'll need your Orange card if you want to make that call.

I use my avoirdupois weights to measure my gold butter,
Even though some people in Otter suits say this means that I am a nutter.
I can't be found in Lloyd's register this year,
As I'm living between a bottle of rum and a half pint of bad beer.

Guide to Scottish English

Blonde on blonde is an ancient record of Bob's
The Grecian temple attracts the greatest mobs.
And an ink cartridge runs out,
Just as a Guide to Scottish English goes down the spout.

I received a notelet from my boss
If I don't lay off the tenor sax he'll be rather cross
So I rang him on my mobile phone
Said I'll play under the duvet and stay at home.
