My own clerihew:
Economist Adam Smith
Taught facts not myth
To be rich here and in hell
Your skills or products sell
In the book A Jacques Barzun Reader I found
the following definition of a clerihew:
Which is of all the kinds of verse
The most informative and terse:
One line invokes a well-known named,
Three more disclose, for praise or blame,
In words that make one want to quote,
A single vivid anecdote.
Post your clerihew here--they are more fun
than Haikus.
