Clerihews for you

James Byron Dean
worshiped star of screen,
loved to race and speed
ended up killed by a Turnupseed.
Albert Einstein,
wish his mind was mine,
what he thought did matter
he knew how to make atoms shatter.
Gorgeous Marilyn Monroe
died leaving us in sorrow
at the loss of beauty in flesh
her lipstick shiny smile so fresh.
Wild Bill Hickok
did not hear the click of the cock
as he played the fates
with a hand of aces and eights.
Enrico Fermi, the Splitter on
had the world all a-twitter.
Shot a neutron in the heart
watched it, neighbors blow apart.
That wascally wabbit, Bugs Bunny
is clever, so very funny,
he plants his foot in Fudd’s butt
we bust a collective gut.
Woody Woodpecker
took my car and wrecked her.
A-heh-a-heh-, a-heh-a-heh,
I want to rip out his featha!
