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'. ...[text shortened]... flan,
True manliness in a man,
chess and etiquette.




Now it's your turn...

Here is the truth about muppyman,
he was named for a pet,
he can never forget,
nothing snuggles as close as a puppy can.

... "humorously characterizes". The seriousness lies not with the little

lighthearted quatrain but with ourselves... even as in the famous

cartoon in which Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."

A friendly/linguistically related companion thread to Muppyman's

Limerick thread was the only motive (plus I ran out of limericks).

Oh that is very nice. The percentages may be off one way or the other, but the core is true. Rec'd. Thank you.

I don't know...in the US Domino's is considered the bottom of the barrel in regard to pizza. When the 6-8 year old footballers win a match, that is where you go to celebrate because it is cheap. 😕

Looks over thread posts and lingers
Clever conversation desired
But alas, he's too tired

He's always off track just a Smidgey
He represents IVV because he's a drunkie
He has the manners of an ill bread Monkey

Glacial, bold.

Enter the fold.
Be not doled.
Resist and be scold.
For he is Ice Cold.
