THEm!
I'm not one o'THEm
(you know, the ones with the 'THE' middle name):
There's John THE Baptist,
Alexander THE Great[ist?],
Joe THE Plumber
(but no Christopher THE Plummer),
Popeye THE Sailor,
Philo THE Elder,
Attila THE Hun
(and even Attila THE Pun),
[ ... ]
Winnie THE Pooh,
and Philo THE Jew.
(Perhaps Philo THE Dialectician*
is THE best I can do.)

Hi Phil, I've got a character called Walter THE JIB Gibraltar in some of my poems. Then of course there's Joe THE Taxi in my local pub!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried THE NaisaiKu.. Challenge! yet?
Ah, so clever and readable! Enjoyed it! I'm betting you'd do an excellent Naisaiku (as per Sweet Talking Guy) comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDeleteI need to contemplate naisaiku (← gesundheit?) this weekend and see what comes out.
This was very clever. I enjoyed reading it.

ReplyDeleteMy poem, I think, is more THE odore Cleaver.
ReplyDeleteSo creative! Fun, fun, fun!
