The Four Rules
1. They are four lines long.
2. The first and second lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other.
3.The first line names a person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person.
4. A clerihew should be funny.
Some suggestions for your clerihews
*Consider other people's feelings (a.k.a. "no putdowns")
*Know who your audience is.
*Use a dictionary for hard to spell words.
*Have fun & be original.
