Hieronymus Bosch Had desires he couldn’t quash That kept him up nights Painting The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Cold Feet

Lydia Hyde

Was hardly fit to be a bride.

With eyes full of white,

She was scarcely a sight. 

Evelyn Hyde

Who had looked as if she died,

Looked down upon their groom;

He was sure to meet his doom.

Ben Lawman

Felt as if he should have ran;

But the sisters gripped onto him tight,

Confident this marriage would make everything right.

Been revisiting the clerihew recently (the four line comic biographical poems invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley, more on them here, find my favourite here) and also thinking about B7 so for no real reason whatsoever, Blakes 7 clerihews be upon thee!

I may think up more but contributions are very welcome...

Olag Gan,

Had he only ran,

Might have made it to Star One

Rather than succumbing to a bomb.

-

Roj Blake,

For rebellion's sake,

Posed as a traitor -

Until shot by a hater.

-

Dayna Mellanby

Found it hereditary:

Both fighting for a cause

And ending up as a corpse.

-

Cally

Was gifted psychically,

But what wasn't observable

Was exploding on Terminal.

Doctor Ian Malcolm Is quite far from dumb-dumb. Be it woods or long grass, He flees with measure of class.
