Selected Clerihews (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

This is a new collection of clerihews written by Dennis Callegari.

A clerihew is a humorous biographical (or pseudo-biographical) four-line verse about a contemporary or historical person, where the rhyming scheme is AABB. In clerihews, most lines are of unequal length and the name of the person mentioned must form part of the first rhyme. The original clerihews were the invention of the author and journalist Edmund Clerihew Bentley, but this verse form also has been employed by writers such as G.K. Chesterton, W.H. Auden, Dorothy Parker, and many others.
