Cleri Who's Who
help
Four lines rhyming AABB - scansion, rhythm, metre and all that malarkey is as random as-u-like. Oh yes - the featured subject, usually a person, is mentioned in the first line.
Here's a full and frank(ly better) intro by Thos along with some that were made earlier.

Sings with the celestial choir as he plays his harp, oh!
Actor and gun-toter Charlton Heston
Played in many a Western
He liked guns, it would seem
And lots of Brylcreem.
Karl Marx and Charlton Heston
Suffered with indigestion
While Vladimir Lenin and Rock Hudson
Are, as far as is known, both unrelated to the Danish inventor of an ingenious type of vacuum gauge, and furthermore one which does not require calibration aginst a known standard, the gentleman in question being the one and only Martin Knudsen. I'm sure Vladimir Lenin played in goal for LiveSteamInjector Dnepopetrovsk in the '60s. The last few AVMA's have got me thinking there must be some kind of collective dementia in the air.
Noted lunatic Syd Barrett
Tried to grow a prize carrot
But when he took it to the local fayre [Rosie] 60's? When he was in the glass tank I presume then!
He, and it, were taken into care (Tuj) Nah, it was another Lenin (probably).

Could I ever-so-gently remind contributors that this is Clerihews, not Pea & honey Recipes.

Patrick Troughton
When not in a Tardis drove a 650 Norton
Whereas Jon Pertwee
In his Fiat 500, cared little whether or not people thought it were twee.
Jack Nicholson
Looses his cool with other road users and caves their windscreens in
This is where we have obtained the word "carjacker" from
And also "Nicholodium"
Renowned German mathematician Leonhardt Euler
Developed functions surrounding numeric squares because he mislaid his ruler
Unlike Michael Schumacher
Who always kept one on hand; when his female assistant mis-solved those complex theorems, he'd whack her.
It's nice, but doesn't "Euler" rhyme with "boiler"?
Plummy voiced art critic Brian Sewell [Kim] I'm afraid I've still only got a provisional poetic licence :o)
Would like to douse modern art with lighter fuel
And had he been born a hundred years earlier, he would have wanted to take Brasso
When he saw the works of Picasso.
Superman
"That's what he thinks" says multi-tasking super wo - man More fun with Brian Sewell
When struck by red kryptonite
He goes out like a light
Humphrey Lyttleton, jazz trumpeter and host of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
Who?
Ah, I posted that before I learned the news that he had died. Let me restart Phil's tribute.
Phil - Humphrey Lyttleton, jazz trumpeter and host of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
His passing all will rue
In the Morniverse there will be a hole
For one who played with soul.
Madonna
