A combination of sympathy for a friend's ill-health and today's 'Word a Day' inspired me to pen my own clerihew:
Ian Martin Has done with partyin' He now wisely eschews The insidious effects of booze
I didn't think it was too bad for a first effort...

Welcome helendq, I think that's excellent. As far as I can see (I shall probably be torn apart for this) yours is this board's first post on Clerihews, which I find amazing. It's a pity you didn't post it up under 'Wordplay and fun' or 'Miscellany'; unfortunately, many peoples eyes often don't drop down the Index this far. I think Coffeebean in particular would enjoy playing with Clerihews.
CB,....you there? Let's give it a bit and see what happens.

German composer Paul Hindemith left the Nazi regime not entirely bereft; His repertoire is smaller but you may recognize Mathis der Maler.

American author Mark Twain had a brain of a singular strain; but his style so witty, dry and direct would unfortunately now be “politically incorrect.”

William of Normandy in 1066 brought his law and culture to the Celts and Picts. And not without hassles, Built a lot of castles.

Gluttonous Henry the Eighth Wrought a departure of faith, And to his wives as a Tudor He couldn't be ruder.

Highly acclaimed Thomas Edison Many failed ideas did jettison, Then finally to his delight He perfected the incandescent light.
