Clerihew Day, celebrated on July 10th, is a fun day all about a special kind of short poem called a "clerihew." These poems are whimsical and silly, usually made up of just four lines. The first line often has a famous person's name, and the rest of the poem says something funny about them. Clerihews rhyme in a simple style and don't follow strict rules, making them easy to create. The day honors Edmund Clerihew Bentley, who invented this poetry form. It's a time to be creative with words, laugh, and enjoy making up rhymes about well-known people!
How to celebrate Clerihew Day?
Gather your friends and write funny, short poems about famous people, just like a game. Make up silly rhymes and share them out loud, giggling at each clever twist. You can use crayons to decorate the poems on colorful paper or make a card. Have a picnic with snacks like cookies and juice to enjoy while you read your poems. Play a game where one person starts a poem, and the next continues it, adding fun to the celebration. Draw pictures of the people in your poems to add more joy and creativity to Clerihew Day!
