Clerihews

Number Six is studying Clerihews today in her CHC English, and when we researched a bit about it we found the first clerihew ever written. She could relate, as they have studied Sir Humphry Davy in middle school chemistry at coop.

Sir Humphry Davy
Was not fond of gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium.

..so she wrote her own, about author James Herriot. Her Lit class at coop has been reading the delightful books by this beloved author.

Author and vet James Herriotnever rode in a chariot,instead he strode the timeless wayof being an unmatched author--then and today.
