The Clerihew Poem by Jennie Radley
The Clerihew
Edmund Bent-
ley wrote “The Last Case of Trent”.
His middle name was Clerihew,
Rhymes for that are very few.
A clerihew’s strength
Is four lines of unequal length;
You rhyme the first two,
And the last two, too.
Clerihews were first biographic,
Explaining in words few but graphic,
A person’s claim to fame.
Edmund Bentley’s was his middle name.
