Clerihew Review

CLERIHEW REVIEW Sir Isaac Newton Though genetically close to an Orang Utan With his larger cranial cavity He discovered the law of gravity Atilla the Hun Was a man who liked innocent fun After a day of rape and pillage He played cricket for his village King William the Conqueror Breeding not from the very top drawer Put that with the deeds of a dastard He was known as Bill the Bastard Julius Caesar Was a really imperious geezer Though he headed for a fall You must admit he had the Gaul King of France: Louis Quatorze Loved to dress in silky drawers When asked “Do you feel that’s alright?” He said: ”Yes, when they’re pulled up tight”
