George Szirtes and Andy Jackson make another doomed attempt to interest the world in the ridiculous four-line biographical poetic form known as the Clerihew. Invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) when he was a schoolboy, the Clerihew is a childish and pointless anti-Panegyric consisting of flat-footed, Hudibrastic quatrains designed to lower the tone and cut everyone down to size.
