Clerihews

[bjh]

A humorous biographical poem that sheds new light on a famous personality. Often irreverently, but not hatefully.

Sir Christopher Wren
Said, "I am going to dine with some men.
If anyone calls
Say I am designing St. Paul's."

Thanks for introducing this type of poem. I had not heard of it before. I like this one:

Sir James Dewar
Is smarter than you are
None of you asses
Can liquify gases.

I hadn't either.

I came up with this one:

Lindsey Lohan
On freedom ban
How it must have rankled
To wear a bracelet 'round her ankle.

Here's another:

Pretty Kate Winslet
Only starred in one hit.
Luckily Titanic crashed
Enabling her dramatic splash.
