Lewis Carroll
Bought sumptuous apparel
And built an enormous palace
Out of the profits of Alice.
Edgar Allen Poe
Was passionately fond of roe.
He always liked to chew some
When writing anything gruesome.
Taylor Swift
Has a beautiful gift
She can write songs about a breakup
After knowing they won't makeup.
Garfield the cat
On his rear he sat.
Eating lasagna all day
With Odie he would play.
J.R. Tolkien
What was he smoking?
When he wrote the legendary tales of wits
About dwarfs, elves, and hobbits.
E. Clerihew Bentley (by Aaron Hotelling)
Created a poem intently.
The four silly lines start with a person’s name.
A and A then B and B should end the same
