Cashews & Clerihews
A short four line poem that humorously characterizes or poignantly captures the essence of a person, whose name must appear in
the first line and be one of the rhymes. The form was invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley, better known as E.C. Bentley, author
of one of the classics in detective fiction, 'Trent's Last Case'. Following example may have been composed by Kingsley Amis or Anon:
SPINOZA
Collected curiosa:
Bawdy belles-lettres,
Etc.
Moving right along, how about...
LADY COQUETTE
Appreciate pumpkin flan,
True manliness in a man,
chess and etiquette.
Now it's your turn...

He followed this with his less well-known sequel:
They're great, they're great they're great.
They're great, they're great they're great.
They're great, they're great they're great.
They're great, they're great.

The post that was quoted here has been removedI read this and I think this; firstly it dosen't seam like a serious topic, secondly GB loves drama! Third that I must try the brownies next time I get a Dominos pizza and last but defenetly not least this box of Thorton chocolate is nice but if I finish the whole thing without sharing that will be very unhealthy.
