Winning Poems - Competition no 33: Write a poem using rhymes with a given word?

Remember Me by Spades Master

I hope someone remembers me when I die
Fighting with honor, sheer pride in my eyes
I joined the Corps, to be all I can be
I lay down my life, so that others live free

I’m a simple man, just a regular guy
For love of country, didn’t have to ask why
I followed my calling, to protect and serve
A peaceful nation, is what we deserve

Just pin my medals, across my chest
Please tell my mama, I did my best
Don’t worry ‘bout me, there’s no need to cry
I’m now one with God, there’s no goodbye

The task was to write a Clerihew about a fictional character. Information about clerihews can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerihew

Elmer Fudd

There was a hunter they called Elmer Fudd
he was often seen falling with a great thud.
He would get angry and yell dagnabbit!
Why can't I ever catch that wascally wabbit?

Sherlock Holmes

The great detective Sherlock Holmes
Came across some garden gnomes
Asking "What are you doing here?"
They answered "We,ve come for the beer"

Captain Kirk


Starship Enterprise Captain, James T. Kirk
This galaxy is where, he treks for work
His libido, gets him into binds
But he finds green girls, to unwind in kind
