Some Clerihews by JBP.

Roman History

Julius Caesar
Was a tempestuous sneezer;
"That's common," said Brutus
"Among Generals with enormous hooters."

.

Greek Philosophers 1.

Everyone agreed, even Plato,
That he strongly resembled a potato;
But he grew frantic and savage
When they likened him to a cabbage.

.

Greek Philosophers 2.

Aristotle
Took to the bottle
When they described his Nichomachaean Ethic
As simply pathetic.

.

Mr Apeck's Literary Lecture.

"Look sharp, see deep, and don't relent,
Use short words, say only what you know,
And when you've said - go."
So Apeck said - and went.
