Rama's Random Ramblings A patchwork of my thoughts, experiences and anything else that catches my fancy. My personal pages Syndicate this Blog (RSS/XML feed) Sunday, January 23, 2005 The Clerihew A friend recently drew my attention to the following bit of literature: Sir Humphrey Davy Abominated gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered sodium. The above quatrain was written by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), at the age of 16. Note the structure of the rhymes: two couplets forming the pattern AABB. The verse style was subsequently named the clerihew, after its inventer. Michael Curl has this to say about Clerihew: E. C. Bentley Mused while he ought to have studied intently; It was this muse That inspired clerihews. In 1905, Bentley compiled several clerihews into "Biography For Beginners", in which he states: The Art of Biography Is different from Geography. Geography is about Maps, But Biography is about Chaps. Clerihews are "theoretically" supposed to use a proper name to end the first line. The above example is therefore a variant for illustrative purposes only! Here are a few more from the Clerihew pen: The people of Spain think Cervantes Equal to half-a-dozen Dantes;

The identity is only revealed in the final pages of the book. Whodunits are essentially puzzles in the form of a story. The locked room mystery is one kind of a whodunnit, where the puzzle is how the murderer got out of the room (or other closed area) in which the victim was found and, often, how the murder was accomplished (and/or how the murderer got in, too).
