Meta-clerihews spotted on the Internet.

Incidentally,
Mr. Bentley
Will someone write a Clerihew
When they bury you?

Edmund Clerihew Bentley
Worked swiftly if not gently,
Tracking murderers down by a hidden clew
In whodunit and clerihew.

Edmund Clerihew Bentley
Mused, when he ought to have studied intently;
It was this muse
That inspired clerihews.

Edmund Clerihew Bentley
Poked fun, gently,
But could be terse
In his verse.

E.C. Bentley
Earned fame by writing Trent-ly.
Not, let me tell you,
For the no-talent clerihew.

Edmund Clerihew Bentley
was evidently
a man
who could not get his verses to scan.
