Wednesday Medley -10/7/19

The Wednesday Medley is hosted by Terri over at Your Friend from Florida.
The questions usually start with the National Day and follow on from there. No rules and there is no obligation. Link up if you want to over at Terri's site and see who else is joining in the fun.

Today is NATIONAL CLERIHEW DAY

July 10th of each year celebrates National Clerihew Day in the United States.  Edmund Clerihew Bentley created the whimsical, four-line biographical poem.

An English novelist and humorist, Edmund Clerihew Bentley (July 10, 1875 – March 30, 1956), was a 16-year-old student when he thought up the lines for his first ever clerihew.

Sir Humphry Davy Abominated gravy. He lived in the odium

Of having discovered sodium

As with most poetry, the Clerihew is defined by a set of rules. It must contain four lines, rhyming couplets of AA/BB, a person’s name in the first line, say something about that person and it should be humorous. It is meant to be a funny poem, of course.

1.  Try your hand at a Clerihew poem or two or three!  

There was a little boy called Nathan

Who had a favourite television station

It's called CBeebies and it's lots of fun

And it shuts down each day when bedtime has come

There was a young boy called Rory

Who thankfully is always hunky dunky

He smiles and giggles and cuddles his Mum

And when Nanny Grandsits we have such fun

There once was a boy called Noah

Who likes to take things slower

His nature is sunny and he finds things funny

But his favourite thing is to cuddle his Mummy

There once was a woman called Wendy

Who when she was young was quite bendy

But now that she's older and time's flying past

She's cross because her suppleness didn't last

2.  Tell us something about your week so far.

I am having a hectic week.  Because my daughter cannot get about easily due to her injured ankle and my daughter-in-law is self-employed so can't afford to take time off work I've doing an extra day with Nathan this week which means 4 days of Grandsitting altogether.  

I am tired!  And I still have tomorrow to get through.  But then hubby are away for the weekend - just the two of us.  Can't wait!
