clerihew

I'd also noted that at no time in the rally had Clerihew been mentioned.

There had not been even one indirect reference to Clerihew in any of the four rallies.

Reading a pre-war book, I came across a reference to a 'clerihew,' which seems to be a kind of poem.

The form was invented by and is named after Edmund Clerihew Bentley.

A clerihew has the following properties:

Another contemporary and friend from schooldays was Edmund Bentley, inventor of the clerihew.

A form of humorous verse named after Edmund Clerihew Bentley, who initiated it.

Nikita Khrushchev, bodiless as loose chaff, within a narrow clerihew there's room at last to bury you.

I prefer Clerihews and this is the very first one, by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (aged 16!)

Bentley's friend, G. K. Chesterton, was also a practitioner of the clerihew and one of the sources of its popularity.

Among contemporary writers, the satirist Craig Brown has made considerable use of the clerihew in his columns for The Daily Telegraph.
