Shaughnessy the Leprechaun
Shaughnessy the Leprechaun,
Grabbed my brisket and was gone.
If I catch that dine and dash,
I’ll turn him into corned beef hash.


Week # 35

Write a poem using the Clerihew form about a leprechaun
A Clerihew is a comic verse consisting of two couplets and a specific rhyming scheme, aabb invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) at the age of 16. The poem is about/deals with a person/character within the first rhyme. In most cases, the first line names a person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person.

In this instance "Shaughnessy the Leprechaun" is his formal title.
