Dare to do a Really Awful Clerihew

(Click on appropriate section of sidebar on right for translations, writings, compositions, awards and special series.)

Just for a bit of spectacle, the kids having a splash at the pool on our beach down the road where we went for supper last evening.

For NaPoWriMo Day Twenty Five there is an invitation to try the Clerihew. ‘These are rhymed, humorous quatrains involving a specific person’s name. You can write about celebrities, famous people from history, even your mom …’ One quoted on the Wiki link above:

‘Bentley’s first clerihew, published in 1905:

Sir Humphry Davy
Abominated gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium.’

Right up my alley!  Here we go with my five:

With Charles Dickens,
The pulse quickens
In palpitations
From Great Expectations. 

Barack Hussein Obama,
Although not born a farmer,
Clears patches that are thorny
With speeches a-maize-zing-ly corny. 

David Cameron
Put a hammer on
NHS for wealth –
No-one drinks his health. 

Albert Einstein
Thought some wine fine –
Must have had a lot, to see
Into relativity! 

And a bit of self-advertisement to celebrate a preliminary printed proof version of my latest fantasy novel:

Leslie Hyla Winton Noble –
Rhyming that, one’s bent on trouble;
Trying, proves the man to be
Locked inside a fantasy.
