Lebron James
Plays games
With other big men
He outscores by 10
Ted Cruz
He’s going to lose
The Republican nomination
To Trump, that abomination
Donald Trump
Exposes America’s ugly rump
No matter what he says, however stinkin’
Ugly/evil/stupid, you know it really is what millions are thinkin’
Bernie Sanders
Agitates, while Clinton panders
Choose cynical or shrill?
Pick your poison, pay the bill
Rodney Dangerfield
A man to whom no one would yield,
be it a relative or some derelict.
Quoth the man: “No respect.”
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na
Hey hey hey
Goodbye.
Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert
Made many a teenage wrestler’s ass to hurt
Will all the impassioned apologetics of Tom DeLay “The Hammer”
Suffice to keep Hastert’s own ass out o’ the slammer?
The artist formerly known as Prince
found his purple suit faded in the rinse,
And was forced to meet his maker, they say
Wearing only his raspberry beret.
Were you working on that one for 7 years? 
(I don’t have any problem with the resurrection, it’s just humorous reading this thread, seeing you posted in it before, and then casually saying you thought of another like it took you all 7 years to think of it)
More or less, I suppose. That is, I’ve done other things meantime, or thought about them, but came up with no clerihews I was crazy about.
But let me try to ride this wave of inspiration just a bit longer…
Homo habilis
Liked being fabulous
But (having nothing to do with fools)
Used tools.
Crispus Attucks
Went on the make the big bucks.
He used the massacre at Boston
To promote his line of delicious homemade cake frostin’.
Plz excuse. I was reading CLASSIC ILLUSTRATED COMICS “Negro Americans” online and got to Crispus Attucks and immediately thought “Oh my god CLERIHEW.”
Prince Hall
Feared the Redcoats not at all.
Recruited slaves to do some Brit-chasin’
Was the first black man to become a Mason.
Benjamin Banneker
Being Christian, never celebrated Channuker.
He built Washington and published almanacs
But was born too early to play sax.
Phillis Wheatley
Made her bed very neatly.
She decorated her garden with plaster gnomes
And George Washington enjoyed her poems.
Matthew Henson
Was a hero and thenson!
He got Peary’s butt to the Pole with little or no thonx
And ended up buried in the Bronx.
Wait…I swear to god I saw Matt Henson’s gravestone in Woodlawn Cemetery. Did they move his moldy bones to Arlington? When did THAT happen?
Prince Rogers Nelson
I’m sorry you fell, son.
You gave up your crown
When de-elevator brought you down.
Donald Trump
Gave Ted Cruz a thump,
Comments on his daughter’s boobs,
And is the favorite of rubes.
Rafael Nadal
Picks his butthole
His OCD tics?
I give them a miss.
The last two have me wondering how “Nadal” is pronounced.
I have no memory of writing that. None.
