Some clerihews

E.C.Bentley
At 16, gently
Embraced the very new
And invented the clerihew

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
‘ad deux sumbs et huit fingres
Not to mention dix teuse
When painting “La Grande Baigneuse”

Tony Blair
To much despair
Ignored Chirac
And invaded Iraq

Elizabeth Truss
With maximum fuss
Was our Minister, Prime
For the shortest of time

Johnson (Boris)
Quoted Horace
“Pro patria mori”
Just like a Tory

Elvis Presley
Would not eat mu-esli 
But he was a nutter
For peanut butter

Chas and Dave
Their talent gave
With careful nurture
To bring us “Gertcha”

Nicholas Breakspear
Never met Shakespeare 
But might well have done
Five centuries on

Gordon Brown
Oft wore a frown
Which gave him a sinister 
Aspect as Prime Minister

J M W Turner
Had a large Bunsen burner
(In fact quite a number)
To make his burnt umber

…and one which isn’t a clerihew at all:

But the people of France
Do a delicate dance
To decide if it’s vous or it’s tu
