Cleri-what?

Have you ever heard of Clerihew Day or a type of poem called a 'clerihew?' Yeah, I hadn't either, but I get all my best sailing/blogging/international cultural info from my friend Tillerman, and he is celebrating Clerihew Day with a clerihew-writing exercise on his blog today.

Following the guidelines of a good clerihew...

• it is biographical
• it begins with the subject's name
• it has the rhyme scheme AABB
• it should be light-hearted or humorous

.... I submit the following as my contribution:

Christy the sailing chick with mad skill
Has a sailing goal she'll never fulfill
Why are boys so mean?
Christy needs a broken heart vaccine.

SIGH. <"wink">
