Fab Four Clerihews

Fab Four Clerihews

George Harrison
should garrison
his house against attacks
from Beatlemaniacs.

---

Ringo
could sing. Oh,
but Starkey?
Malarkey!

---

Paul
was in thrall,
not dead,
as some said.

---

And of course John, who is very stubborn about having a clerihew written about him:

John
looks down upon
mere mortals to see
if a working class angel is something to be.

John
looks out upon
his everlasting reward to see
if a working class angel is something to be.

John
looks upon
mere mortals, and mingles
with angels while penning hit singles.

Sir John
looked out upon
his reward. It ain't good:
He turned down sainthood.

Sir John
looked down upon
his reward. It ain't good:
He turned down sainthood.
