Clerihews 

​

Socrates

Makes mediocrities

Of other ages’

Sages.

 

Nicola Sturgeon

Is a political surgeon

Trying to affect a wee

Rest-of-the-UK-ectomy.

 

Damien Hirst

Is pretty well-versed

In the art of applied

Formaldehyde.

 

Gary Numan

Has a fan base that’s predominately human

Because his record company never released ‘Are Friends Electric?’ or ‘Cars’

On Mars.

 

Polonius

Is more than a little sanctimonious

In contending

That one should eschew both borrowing and lending.
