NONE OF YOU ASSES...CAN LIQEUFY GASSES

With work as the perfect cover as usual, I made up a few clerihews. Silly, but that's the point of clerihews. Plug in your own into the comments, and I will gladly update the post!

Albert Einstein
Led by a godly sign
Engaged in spacetime-talk
Forgot to wear a sock

Robert Burns Woodward
Once looked skyward
By cogitation alone
Made strychnine from stone

Julius Robert Oppenheimer
Bought a millisecond timer
Before the timer struck one
Had read Tolstoy "just for fun"

George Bernard Shaw
Dropped his jaw
When professor Higgins
Was played by Bilbo Baggins

Noam Chomsky
Turned a little pesky
When America started shouting
“It’s terror we are fighting”

Bertrand Russell
Liked to eat mussell
While pondering
An ontological wandering

Winston Spencer Churchill
Had a dish seasoned with dill
Consumed lemon jelly
Patted his belly

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Liked to wear coats of felt
Started skipping his daily naps
Bad news for the Japs

Marie Curie
Exalted was she
Glee she was showing
When the beaker started glowing

Ernest Rutherford
Was made a Lord
By throwing many a dart
Straight into the atom's heart

Richard Philips Feynman
Much fun for the layman
When safes he was poking
Surely he was joking

Finally, an already known classic one (from the Oxford Dictionary):

Sir James Dewar
Is better than you are.
None of you asses
Can liquefy gasses!

* Updates:

Sumedha has a timely one:

Martin Scorsese
Never had it easy
Seven times he hoped against hope
That it was his name in the envelope.


He deserved it indeed!

And then Anon has another one:

Ashutosh Suhas Joglekar
Would love a cat with thick fur
But he's afraid of what she'd do
Use his mac and keyboard too! :)


Aw-shucks...is all I can say!

Neelesh has an accurate appraisal of my (past!) personality description. These days, I too spend all my time in front of the machine world though. Hello world.

Ashutosh Suhas Joglekar,
Always a true experimenter,
From dissections, acids, organics and smells,
what next ... who can tell ?
