Jerome K. Jerome: a clerihew

Jerome K. Jerome
Came from a poor home.
But Three Men in a Boat
Kept him afloat.

This is brilliant.

I am very tempted to have a go!

You should - they're a lot of fun ^^ I've only just started writing them and I think I might be hooked.

An idea popped into my head - what about maybe incorporating them into Sherlock60? As well as writing a 60, we could pick a character and write a clerihew about them. It's just a suggestion but it might add interest. (As you are now on your third go round ^^") Let me know how you feel ^^

Would you believe that the idea had come to me too? Of course you would - two minds with but a single thought ;)

I shall need to put some practice in.

And to be honest with only a few contributors offering an alternative might encourage someone else to have a go.

ETA Clearly too early in the morning (i.e. I haven't drunk my second cup of tea yet), I seem to have replied to the main post, not the comment.

To be fair, it is very difficult to spot the reply button on the theme I've chosen - "comment" does rather draw the eye ^^" And your reply is in the right place - it's just not... a reply.

OK then ^_^ (I'm really not surprised you'd had the idea too ^^) I will mention the clerihews in my next intro. I'll make it clear that you can do a 60 and a clerihew, or just one or the other. (This goes for us too ^^)

I hope you don't mind me commenting on this, I just couldn't help it - I think this absolutely perfect, from so many angles!

I am absolutely thrilled you commented on this ^_^ I get so few visitors to my journal ^^

And thank you so much for your kind words - they mean a great deal! ^_^
