Edward Snowden
Rolled the dice & passed Go, then
Landed on NSA utilities
And had to pay ten times over for his abilities.

Kwame Alexander has challenged us to write a clerihew this month. What's a clerihew, you ask? Click HERE for details.
You still have a few days to send your funny four-liner to TodaysLittleDitty (at) gmail (dot) com, or use the contact form in the sidebar to the right. Contributions must be received by this Thursday, April 30th, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). For inspiration, visit this month's wrap-up celebration to read the entire collection of clerihews.
One lucky participant will be randomly chosen to receive an autographed copy of THE CROSSOVER, which received the 2015 John Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.
Good one, Julie!
ReplyDeleteLove the ingenious Monopoly framework of this clerihew, Julie, and that clever "Snowden/Go, then" rhyme too!
ReplyDeleteI too love that Monopoly game. Guess he thought he knew how. Clever, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! That was fun. Some kind of Big-Corporation framework seemed perfect for poor Snowden. I was always the one in my family that ended up owning only Baltic Avenue and everyone else had hotels all around the board. Don't remember EVER winning a game of Monopoly...and I feel for Snowden. Hope he gets a "Get Out of Jail Free" card and can come home.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun, Julie! I never won at Monopoly either. I just enjoyed the colorful board and the play money, haha.
