A cloud was on the mind of men, and wailing went the weather, Yea, a sick cloud upon the soul when we were boys together. Science announced nonentity and art admired decay; The world was old and ended: but you and I were gay; Round us in antic order their crippled vices came Lust that had lost its laughter, fear that had lost its shame. Like the white lock of Whistler, that lit our aimless gloom, Men showed their own white feather as proudly as a plume. Life was a fly that faded, and death a drone that stung; The world was very old indeed when you and I were young. They twisted even decent sin to shapes not to be named: Men were ashamed of honour; but we were not ashamed. Weak if we were and foolish, not thus we failed, not thus; When that black Baal blocked the heavens he had no hymns from us Children we wereour forts of sand were even as weak as eve

Clerihew Bentley, age 16, in science class Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) wrote detective fiction, and at the age of 16, I imagine a bit bored in school, developed the verse form named after him - the clerihew. 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 Is different from Geography. Geography is about Maps, But Biography is about Chaps. Following this publication, CLERIHEW became a recognized form of verse. Because it uses a proper name at the end of the first line (or sometimes second), it is pseudo-biographical, usually with the emphasis on the "pseudo.

CLERIHEWS IN THE NEWS This contest is now closed. But enjoy! (Click here to go directly to the winning entries.) W hat's a clerihew? It's a bit of rhyming doggerel invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). In its traditional form, it's a four-line verse made up of two rhyming couplets, and its purpose is to offer a satiric or ridiculous biography of a famous person. Here are three of Bentley's own clerihews: Sir Humphrey Davy Detested gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered sodium. George the Third Ought never to have occurred. One can only wonder At so grotesque a blunder. Sir Christopher Wren Said, "I'm going to dine with some men. If anyone calls, Say I'm designing St. Paul's." You may have noticed that the meter in these examples is irregular. 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. Let's limit our subjects to people who've been in the news from, say, 1975 to the present. We won't be too strict about this. But we'd like these clerihews to be topical. For example: Tom Hanks Has accounts in fifty banks.

Essays The Clerihew is a form of comic verse invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley, and championed by his friend, the novelist Gilbert Keith Chesterton. It consists of four lines of irregular length, rhymed AABB, or two uneven couplets, if you prefer to think of it that way. Clerihews are almost always biographical, and the first line usually consists solely of the subject's name, perhaps the most famous example being:

54. Reviews Of Clerihew Books--William H. Wiatt That’s a clerihew—a humorous “biography” in two couplets—by the inventor of the genre, edmund clerihew Bentley (18751956). Henry Taylor, a Pulitzer Prize http://www.ddaze.com/04LVResource/vWiatt.htm

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. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2000. John Stuart Mill, By a mighty effort of will, Overcame his natural bonhomie And wrote Principles of Political Economy That’s a clerihew—a humorous “biography” in two couplets—by the inventor of the genre, Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). Henry Taylor, a Pulitzer Prize winning poet, following the tradition established by Bentley, W. H. Auden, and Paul Horgan, offers us 101 clerihews, his Brief Candles Unlike limericks, which are written by anybody (mostly by old “Anon.”) about everyman (“There was a young man from ”) and to everybody, clerihews are written by literati, about particular persons, and to a narrow, educated audience. Auden identifies that audience in calling his clerihews “academic graffiti.” They tend, in short, to be “in jokes”; if you don’t know who the subject (e.g., John Stuart Mill) is, you may well miss the point. In Brief Candles , Henry Taylor chooses primarily literary figures—British poets laureate, suicidal poets, literary theorists, critics and linguists, and book reviewers. But some well-read readers may have trouble identifying these seven worthies, all subjects of clerihews in

G.K.C. is short for Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936). He was Bentley’s contemporary, collaborator, best friend and no mean poet himself.
