When President Joe Biden Was asked, What are you hidin? His reply was easily understood: I did the best I could.
There's no simple answer To the problems we've faced since my Administration began, Sir. Under these circumstances To imply otherwise is to indulge in romances.

(an Exercise for the Reader: write a Clerihew based on George Stephanopoulos... ;-) Hmm...we'll see! Some years ago I accepted your challenge of writing a double dactyl including 'antimetabole' (see page 6 of the Double Dactyl thread). So there's always hope! Here are two sporting clerihews: Jurgen Klopp Wants Liverpool to be top, And accordingly devises Ways to win football's greatest prizes. Joe Root, Star batsman, and captain to boot, Must doubt that England will win at cricket While the rest of the team keep losing their wicket.

None of this is true, as far as I know, but it fits the form and rhyme criteria for a Clerihew.
News Analyst and interviewer George Stephanopoulos Spends much of his time playing Parcheesi and Sorry and other such games Monopoulos. Politicians for him to skewer Are much fewer.

Former Democratic advisor George Stephanopoulos (Not to be confused with Trump's George Papadopoulos) Continued to present impartial TV news Though he hoped the Republicans would lose.

The Three Musketeers Stood no insults or jeers. If they were obstructed by a peasant, Their reaction would not be very pleasant.
If Charlotte Bronte Had married an Italian conte, She could have basked in literary glory In a villa by Lake Maggiore.
Herbert Lom Was the actor's pseudo-nom. His real name was Herbert Charles Angelo Kuchacevic ze Schluderpacheru. Phew!

Thomas Bowdler's expurgations Spoiled Shakespeare's literary creations. He should have stuck to chess, At which he had considerable success.

Mark Twain Had a style which was plain. His personality was unsuited To writing that was convoluted.
Titian Was not a physician. He reckoned art was sublime While medicine was quite primitive at that time.
Attila the Hun Said "I don't wage war for fun. I just want a little more space For the Teutonic race".
Stan Laurel Was involved in a quarrel With a movie director Who got mad and smashed a projector.

Cinderella Arrived at the ball with an umbrella, Which, like her slipper, she forgot When she left at midnight on the dot.

Liz Truss Would rate her performance A+. Barring something sinister, She will be Britain's next prime minister.
Rishi Sunak has lost ground Because many Conservatives think him unsound. Not, I hope, on grounds of race, For that would be an utter disgrace.
Now nemesis is nigh for Boris, Who may be tempted to quote Horace: Dulce et decorum est... As his premiership is laid to rest.
