 | | FSR: Garry Kasparov
was 2851
the greatest player |
|
Oct-07-11
| | FSR: My dog Reese is black
he eats all known forms of food
omnivorous beast |
|
Oct-07-11
| | FSR: How did Weinstein's page
turn into poetry central
just because he's nuts |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | I play the Fred: 1 e4 f5!
a dynamic rejoinder
yes, <I play the Fred> |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | I play the Fred: There once was a man from St. Bees
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp
he was asked, "Does it hurt?"
he replied, "No it doesn't,
but I'm glad that it wasn't a hornet!" |
|
Oct-07-11
| | FSR: Phony Benoni
is only a pseudonym
for David Moody |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | Shams: Setting the bar a little higher-- who can write a passable clarihew? |
|
Oct-07-11
| | FSR: You probably think
these haikus are really lame
you're probably right |
|
Oct-07-11
| | FSR: LIFE Master AJ
is the greatest player ever
only in his mind |
|
Oct-07-11
 | | OhioChessFan: See woodenbishop
On page one of this player
That's where it started |
|
Oct-07-11
| | FSR: IM Ray Weinstein
promising U.S. player
went completely nuts |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | rapidcitychess: Five, Seven, and Five
I hear this is a haiku
But not a good one |
|
Oct-07-11
| | OhioChessFan: A kibitzer named Shams
Bought a dictionary at Sam's
That misspelled clerihew
Whatever will Shams do? |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | rapidcitychess: I hate you, haiku
You make me post about naught
But it is good fun |
|
Oct-07-11
| | OhioChessFan: FSR
Died and then disbarred
Too much time on chessgames.com proves his practice is a disaster
So says the Life Master |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | I play the Fred: I have got the gist
of what a clerihew is
I need specifics |
|
Oct-07-11
| | OhioChessFan: Four lines any length
Rhyming lines AABB
First line is a name |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | rapidcitychess: <OhioChessFan>,
It is said he lost a crayon.
In his sadness,
His mind was filled with madness. |
|
Oct-07-11
| | OhioChessFan: IplaytheFred
Often cheats, it is said
Worse than Nakamura
Chirping like a kookaburra |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | rapidcitychess: Mister Clerihew,
Did not only think of a few,
But made a book;
with people from kings to a crook. |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | I play the Fred: Hank Williams the second
hadn't ever reckoned
on becoming a polipundit;
he really should have shunned it |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | TheFocus: I have read these poems,
By and large.
And I must say,
The lunatics are in charge. |
|
Oct-07-11
| | OhioChessFan: I think The Focus
Should assume the Locust
Position and seek equanimity
To better appreciate this poetry |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | TheFocus: It is Lotus, not Locust.
LOL! |
|
| Oct-07-11 | | Shams: <OCF>
<A kibitzer named Shams
Bought a dictionary at Sam's
That misspelled clerihew
Whatever will Shams do?>
HA! That's hilarious.
Typically the clerihew is composed on the occasion of someone's passing. It's like a whimsical obituary. Here lies Fred, alas he's dead, etc.
The second lines riff on something notable in that person's life. |
