W hat's a clerihew? It's a bit of rhyming doggerel invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). In its traditional form, it's a four-line verse made up of two rhyming couplets, and its purpose is to offer a satiric or ridiculous biography of a famous person. Here are three of Bentley's own clerihews: Sir Humphrey Davy
Detested gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium. George the Third
Ought never to have occurred.

At so grotesque a blunder. Sir Christopher Wren
Said, "I'm going to dine with some men.
If anyone calls,
Say I'm designing St. Paul's." You may have noticed that the meter in these examples is irregular. It's *supposed* to be, see, for comic effectwhich is good news for all us metrical klutzes! In a clerihew, all notions of scansion are gleefully torpedoed! Now, we want you to submit an original clerihew in the traditional style, but we want you to concentrate on a more up-to-date celebrity. Let's limit our subjects to people who've been in the news from, say, 1975 to the present. We won't be too strict about this. But we'd like these clerihews to be topical. For example: Tom Hanks
Has accounts in fifty banks.

Y es, it's clerihew time again at The Atlantic Monthly and this year we're going Hollywood! But first, a refresher course:
The clerihew is a bit of rhyming doggerel invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). Traditionally, it's a four-line verse made up of two rhyming couplets, with meter intentionally (often ridiculously) irregular. Its purpose is to offer a satiric or absurd biography of a famous person. Here are three of Bentley's own concoctions:
Sir Humphrey Davy
Detested gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium.
George the Third
Ought never to have occurred.

clerihew
Kel Richards writes
A clerihew is (like a limerick or sonnet) a type of verse. To be more specific, a clerihew is a comic four-line verse, consisting of two couplets of varying lengths, usually dealing with a biographical subject matter. This verse form is named after the man who invented it Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). He spent most of his life as a journalist on the staff of first the Daily News and then the Daily Telegraph in London. For the Daily Telegraph he was first a leader writer, and then Chief Literary Critic. Bentley was a good friend of G K Chesterton and part of that literary set. In 1913 (under the name E C Bentley) he published what is still regarded as a classic among detective novels: Trent’s Last Case. Earlier he had invented this strange comic verse form, a collection of which was published under the title of Biography for Beginners (1905). This was followed by More Biography, Baseless Biography and Clerihews Complete. Here’s an example of one of Bentley’s clerihews:
Sir Christopher Wren
Said, ‘I’m going to dine with some men.

These data were compiled by AFHS volunteers in 1994, based on both monument and burial information. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but human errors are always possible. Confirming the information with personal observation or other sources is always advisable. Basic information has been provided on this website. Burial records obtained from the City of Calgary, show a burial date in the format 23061999 (d/m/yr) When this is the only date available for an individual, it is the one used in the index. Additional information (e.g., monument inscriptions and burial information that may include exact birth and death dates, parents, spouse, etc.) may be available in some cases and can be obtained from the Projects Coordinator, Judie Riddell at safemail("projects","afhs.ab.ca","Projects Chair")

Poetry: The Forms and the History The Cinquain, Clerihew and Haiku by Catherine Wilson (Age: 26) 4 Ratings - Ave: 8.25 Age Rating: 13 to 127
Cinquain The word Cinquain is derived from the French word for five. An American poet named Adelaide Crapsey invented the Cinquain. She wrote a lot of poems with this format in the last years of her life. She died early, at the age of thirty-six. The Cinquain is a short, 5-line poetry form, with a distinct pattern. It looks easy to write because the format is short; however, don't be fooled. This is a good poetry format for beginners because it is short, and you don't worry about rhyming. You concentrate on selecting words that create the effect you want to create. Yet, this format is also good for more experienced poets because it is challenging to write in such a short format.

SOME NAMES THAT BECAME WORDS
Here are a few words named for people. A comprehensive listing of scientific units of measurement, which are generally not included here, is at http://www.geocities.com/maineiac_bibliophage/people.html . This list consists of widely-used words which are not obviously named for people. Stuart Kidd and Charles Turner assisted with this list. WORD NAMED FOR ABELIA Clark Abel (1780-1826), British botanist ADAMSITE Roger Adams (1889-1971), American chemist ALDRIN Kurt Alder (1902-1958), American chemist ALEXANDRINE Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.), King of Macedonia ALEXANDRITE Alexander I of Russia (1777-1825) ALGORITHM al-Khowarizmi (c800 - c850), Arab mathematician AMISH probably for Jakob Amman, 17th century Swiss Mennonite bishop AUGUST Augustus Caesar (63 B.C. - A.

37. Eponyms
Eggs Benedict, Commodore EC Benedict (18341920), American banker and yachtsman. clerihew,Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), English writer.
http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/eponyms.htm
Eponyms An eponym is a word derived from the name of a real, fictional, mythical or spurious character or person. Most eponyms originate from a person's surname: boycott , for instance, from the Irish landlord Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott; dahlia , from the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; the sousaphone , from the American bandmaster John Philip Sousa; and volt , from the Italian physicist Count Alessandro Volta. Many eponymous words come from literary, biblical or mythological sources: malapropism , from Mrs Malaprop in Sheridan's The Rivals Dickensian , from the English writer Charles Dickens; as old as Methuselah , from the age of the Old Testament patriarch; and aphrodisiac , from the Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. There are thousands of eponyms in everyday use in English today and study of them yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the world's most popular language and its development. Here are some more examples of names that have been immortalised in such a way.
