Sir Edmund Clerihew Bentley

Sir Edmund Clerihew Bentley
passed away, so he sent me.
He wrote of gumshoe detectives,
and eschewed dumb invectives.

Edmund Clerihew Bentley

As a tribute to Sir Edmund Clerihew Bentley 
I now write this unique form- consequently 
Two rhyming couplets, with line lengths unequal 
I'll tribute myself...in my clerihew sequel

Bentley Get Off the Ground

Bentley, get off the ground!
I smiled because I am shopping child-free.
In charge of no one except myself.
The only Bentley I have known is a dog.
This Bentley is a small boy, around six years old.
He has brown hair and dancing eyes.
He scrambles from the floor and tips the cart.
His mother yells “BENTLEY!”
I smile, knowing that someday

A Bentley Dog Day

LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW,
WATCHING IT RAIN.
FORCED TO STAY IN
AND I'M GOING INSANE.

LIGHTNING AND THUNDER
MAKE ME SMILE
NONE THE LESS
I'LL BE HERE A WHILE

IT STARTED EARLY THIS MORNING,
WHILE I WAS DREAMING OF FEATS.
THUNDER INTERRUPTED
MY INTENTIONAL SLEEP.

JUST MADE ME UPSET.
LOSS OF SLEEP
IS LIKE GOING IN DEBT.

THE CLOUDS ARE FALLING
THE RAINS ARE LOW.
NOT ENOUGH WIND 
AND NO

My Hero For April 2017--Dianne Bentley

You're my hero this month, Dianne.

"Luv Guv," now your ex,
was wild about sex.
One staffer was his greatest fan.

A text meant for her went to you!
Months later you'd bid him adieu,
but first you'd make dang 
sure hubby would hang.
Your quiet "campaign" would ensue.

Your audio tapes would assist
the Ethics Committee, whose fist

Bentley and Shadow

My friend had a beautiful bird and Bentley was his name
He was a little cockatiel and he liked to play a game

Where he'd undo a charm bracelet,throw it all around
He'd say his name so loudly then he'd make a giggling sound

She got another cockatiel,a smaller one than Bentley
"Pretty boy Bentley"he'd yell out and look at
