G. K. Chesterton, Bentley's friend from childhood, helps popularize the form. Bentley collected Clerihews into his 1905 Biography For Beginners, (illustrated by Chesterton) in which he explained the concept of the book with a Clerihew variant: The Art of Biography But Biography is about Chaps. Following this publication, CLERIHEW became a recognized form of verse.

It's *supposed* to be, see, for comic effectwhich is good news for all us metrical klutzes! In a clerihew, all notions of scansion are gleefully torpedoed! Now, we want you to submit an original clerihew in the traditional style, but we want you to concentrate on a more up-to-date celebrity.

Extractions: William H. Wiatt on Clerihews William H. Wiatt is a writer, collector, and connoiseur of clerihews. In these reviews, originally published in the Bloomington Herald Times , he discusses clerihew books by Henry Taylor and Phyllis Oder Henry Taylor, Brief Candles , with illustrations by Heather Alexander.

They tend, in short, to be in jokes; if you dont know who the subject (e.g., John Stuart Mill) is, you may well miss the point.
