July 10 is . . . . Clerihew Day —
Clerihews
Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) is remembered mainly for his classic detective story Trent’s Last Case and for the verse form that was named after him – the clerihew. It was at the age of sixteen, while he was at St. Paul’s School in London, that Bentley first started writing clerihews, as a diversion from school work. G. K. Chesterton, Bentley’s life-long friend, was at St. Paul’s at the same time, and he too wrote clerihews.
Here is one of Bentley’s original clerihews from this period:Sir Humphrey Davy
Abominated gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium.Bentley’s first collection of verse in this vein was published in 1905 as Biography For Beginners. Further collections appeared in 1929 and in 1939. It was soon after publication of the first volume that the name CLERIHEW became applied to this particular form of light verse. What exactly is a clerihew? Frances Stillman in The Poet’s Manual and Rhyming Dictionary defines it as ‘a humorous pseudo-biographical quatrain, rhymed as two couplets, with line of uneven length more or less in the rhythm of prose’. Add to this, that the name of the subject usually ends the first or, less often, the second line, and that the humour of the clerihew is whimsical rather than satiric, and there you have a complete definition. Here is a brief selection of my favourite Bentley clerihews:
The people of Spain think Cervantes
Equal to half-a-dozen Dantes;
An opinion resented most bitterly
By the people of Italy.
——————————————————————————–
The meaning of the poet Gay
Was always as clear as day,
While that of the poet Blake
Was often practically opaque.
——————————————————————————–
I doubt if King John
Was a sine qua non.
I could rather imagine it
Of any other Plantagenet.
——————————————————————————–
Dante Alighieri
Seldom troubled a dairy.
He wrote the Inferno
On a bottle of Pernod. -

July 17, 2007 at 4:56 pm
I’m not sure if this is correct or not, but my grandfather told me that me that Mr. Corrigan actually wanted to go out for a pint or two. Since his wife didn’t want him to drink, he told her he was flying to LA. She was happy with that. He got his pint or two and the rest is history.
Of course my grandfather told a few stories in his time 🙂
