Julian Assange
se cache dans une maison étrange
that is, the embassy of Ecuador
remind me, please: what's he there for?

Louis Comfort Tiffany
Was blessed with an epiphany
Not a mere bulb over his head: a stained-glass lamp
Go get 'em, champ!

Michael Phelps
might find it helps
to choose driving music by others
and put down the Doobie Brothers

Dick Fosbury
as an actor and subject of many a raspberry
resolved, if I'm to flop,
I'll do it in track and field
... and made it to the top

Jack Bruce
was the rhythmic hypotenuse
of the do-ya-feel-all-right triangle that was Cream
now he's gone - and the Ghost Train gathers steam

Roger Daltrey
was singing from a psaltery
when a passing agent cried, "You could be
the voice we're looking for!" Quoth the lad: "Who? Me?"

And wrote some of the best Clerihews that have appeared in this thread

Adrian Peterson
thought it was okay to beat yer son;
now his football career's in the ditch.
The NFL punishing a man for violent contact... with a branch? Now that's a switch.

Rick Astley
sang a hit song whose fame has vastly
gained momentum as a tool of the internet troll
now, like it or not, we're all on a Rick roll

Missouri lost Michael Brown
When a policeman gunned him down.
Who's to blame?
I won't play that game.

Charlie Bucket
happily, and against all odds, chanced upon the Fifth Golden Ducat
And later, the impressed Willy Wonka asked him to help run that great garrison
of chocolate (My own hoard just... pails in comparison)

Eddy Grant
wore a fez and drove an old Trabant
feathered shirts of faux roc down, too
that eclectic parvenu

Tom Petty
laser-printed a machete
with which he carved a pan flute
was it tuneful? he died, sadly, so the question is moot

Arthur Rimbaud
would face the postman with arms akimbo
and, unbidden, lambaste him with oblique quatrains
of tyrannical windowboxes, oppressed daffodils, and oafish, bourgeois rains

Jeff Sessions
is under the impressions
that fleeing parents' babies should be impounded - he claims it's in the Bible
which is not the government's manual... even Jesus would say that's a fucking libel

Donald Trump
Is wont to get on the stump
And keep thousands of ecstatic followers in thrall
With BS about a wall.

Johnny Depp
has been known to schlep
his Little Black Books in a large valise
the ladies think he's cooler than Mr. Freeze

Stephen Miller
Is not known to be a killer,
But he pens baneful orations
For his boss to deliver from a teleprompter, bristling with prevarications.

is showin'
us a lot of things we already suspected about the fool-in-chief,
from whose clutches we seek relief.

Teresa May
has had her day.
She's set on ruining her nation
Which fills me with anything but elation.

Margaret Tobin Brown
also refused to drown
but Molly took charge, saved lives, grabbed an oar!
History tells us she was a great hearted social activist, not a dizzy ex-whore.

Theresa May
is the guest who says she cannot stay
but, upon noting that no one will grieve,
she refuses to ever, ever, ever, ever leave
