Clerihews were invented by the English crime writer, E. C. (Edmund Clerihew) Bentley as a 16-year-old at St. Paul's School in London. His first published clerihews appeared in 1905. They were written in reaction to excessive naughtiness in limericks. Bentley, who hung around with a very religious crowd that included author G.K. Chesterton, didn't realize, ironically, that it was just as possible to compose a naughty clerihew. Ingram has scattered several such verses among the approximately 125 poems in his new book, "The Lost Clerihews of Paul Ingram."
