"A Clerihew? Oh darling, it's... just what I always wanted!"


Today in Clerihew Club we match the clerihews below with each of the famous quotes about them. First correct entry gets a free copy of The Firm-Buttocked Clerihew by Sir Joshua Reynolds.* (*not really).

"Gentlemen, I give you the clerihew! Pray do not look away!"

"Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Clerihew, Ein Verrücktwerden Abwesenheit von Reim oder Versmaß."

"Bugger the humidity, it's those bloody clerihews! Won't they ever stop?"

"Every goy who studies the clerihew and every Jew who helps him in it, ought to die."

"The Thinking Crumpet's Clerihew"

Scarpia: Ascolta mi, un ultimo clerihew...
Tosca: Mori! Mori!



Hillary Rodham Clinton
Nutty for badminton.
On her Thailand travel blog
Just one word: Shuttle!Cock!




General George Petraeus,
Sure he may dismay us.
But not like Party B
In the case of Bomber v. Bombee.

Didn't need a push.
There's no place he'd not destroy
For a pre-pubescent boy.

Most happy to drink toasts
To their blood-spattered hosts.




Billy Ray Cyrus
Daughters, Pelvis N' Gyrus.
He makes them rub their wholes
Against child-size stripper's poles.

Hullo Boys and Girls,

Sorry for the spotty attendance but we've been in amongst a series of biblical plagues. What were they again? Um, there was the plague of rain, pretty bad, then one of absent buses, then short-lifed batteries, and um, I don't know... the usual boils and flatulence etc. Anyway, I keep seeming to run out of time before I've even finished anything, let alone comment.

I hope people like these clerihews. Because I have yet another page of them nearly ready to go. And for some reason they seem to be becoming more perverse. I expect that's the fault of one of those plagues. Bloody Egyptians!

And thanks for all your efforts. But do watch the meter, people. It is a tricky booger.

I simply love this clerihew thing. really anticipating my first one to pop out, might take a long time though for my processor is a slow one.

commented to share this, amuses me greatly: http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/

clerihews, eh?!
one can learn something new, every single day.

and btw nobody, so clever.

If I had more time
I would try my hand
Alas I am bogged down
And wearing a frown
when I should have a face lightened with a smile

I know, it doesn't work, but, what the hell.


fignag?
that is my word verification
fignag?

figgy pudding?
figs and nuts?
figs and goat cheese?
figs for the holiday season
so I guess it is fitting
or fignag-ing?

Bwahaha if not for that hilarious photo of Hitlery Klinton there would've been some violent regurgitation. Make a clerihew generator app like the Shakespearean insulter, heavy metal band naming app and the whine and complain generator.

My old dog is dying
that's why all the crying
It seems that every piece of art

into the house of one jenna
kids came like pilgrims to mecca
and so this day must be fated
even the moon is illuminated

now as the only one awake
from words not at all opaque
one sees into minds oh so bright
all of whom are a great delight

through this clumsy song
I am to make a declaration
beautiful souls from the internet
are my favorite christmas present

all hail clerihew
and at it fuck hebrew
for it is the best tactic
to tackle the inner varmint

In case anyone is interested I changed half the photos. Even one from the previous post (the first Kissinger phote which was dull before but is now a real cracker). Otherwise I changed Hillary (more direction to the action), Petraeus (a bomb gag so obvious I can't believe I missed it), Bono (more prominent devil horns), and Billy Ray (who had to go in since he's not just evil but obviously evil).

The Cyrus picture was changed, the previous one was somewhat deranged. A parent would be a real asshole to let his daughters rally around a stripper pole.
