Clerihews are named after their inventor Edmund Clerihew Bentley (born in 1875). The rules are that the poem must:
- Have four lines
- Rhyme in couplets (pairs of lines) of AA, BB
- Use a person’s name in its first line
- Say something about that person
- And hopefully make you smile!
Here's a sample:
