Ode to the clerihew

Thanks to the kiddies' page in The Sunday Times (29 July), I discovered the clerihew:

So, here are three quickie attempts by me:

The blogger Onthesannyside
He thought he had a funny side
He thinks he's a writer
In truth, he's a fright-ter

All the news that is fit to print
'Cos we never run out of ink
Only trees die
And none will cry

Ah Pek sat under the durian tree
Hoping to get one fruit for free
It did, it spiked
That's how he died

Sorry, this last one's a bit grim, but I was thinking about yesterday's blog entry. Anyway, the point is that clerihews are easy to compose -- and fun!
