Once again great minds think alike ^_^ Though I have to say Melas/Hellas is a cleverer rhyme than mine ^^"

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily - and 'burney' is absolutely dire on my part.

What about:

"He was nearly sent to God
By a burning tripod" ? ^_^

To be honest I'm not sure that's any better ;)

Bravo for Melas/Hellas, and as a Buffy fan I'm not in the least put out by "charcoal burney." I found it delightful!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And that's possibly just as well, I doubt you will find much depth within any clerihew I may write.

Don't worry- I doubt people are looking for depth when they read Clerihews. The form is delightfully well suited for wordplay and/or awful puns, though!
