[I post this here rather than the turbid 'clerihew' thread for opaque reasons, which shall probably remain so.]
clerihew (KLER-ih-hyoo) origin: after Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), a journalist and novelist born in London and chiefly remembered as the author of 'Trent's Last Case' (1913), regarded as a milestone in the development of the detective novel, and as the originator of the "clerihew"
one of the original clerihews from young Bentley:
"Sir Humphry Davy Detested gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered Sodium."
I trust that Faldage will inform as to whether this qualifies as a legit clerihew..

Looks good to me; the rhythm borders a little too closely on the regular, but other than that, unless I've forgotten the rules, it has the Fool's Stomp of Approval
