Title: Three Clerihews Post by: Daniel Franklin on October 25, 2007, 11:48:13 AM I've always thought that Spiderman/ Was much more realistic than/ The alter ego of Clark Kent/ In whom no one could make a dent.
The venerable English scribe, John Milton/ Had a separate dwelling specifically built in/ To his house for his mother-in-law, whom he disdained/ When she left in a huff, he wrote Paradise Regained. How in the world did Rush Limbaugh/ Whom the ultra-right regards with awe/ Keep his job when the greatest democracy/ Voted him addicted to utter hypocrisy? This type of humorous poem was invented by English writer E. Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). FANCY FORMAL POETRY? Click Here!
