clerihew1928

1928 Weekend Book 331 ‘Clerihews’ on your personal friends, with nice slack metres and sly points like ‘Sir Christopher Wren Was going to dine with some men. He said, “If anybody calls, Say I'm designing Saint Paul's.”’

1940 E. C. Bentley in Notes & Queries CLXXVIII. 141/2 Clerihew. This formless form of verse was so called because my book, ‘Biography for Beginners’, in which it originated, was published under the name of E. Clerihew, my Christian name. This was in 1906, and the name was applied to the form soon after this by some unknown reader.

1958 New Statesman 12 Apr. 483/1 It is some years since we set a clerihew.
