The Compiler Engineer
Drunk Too much Beer
Thought Undefined Behaviour
Was His Saviour
I think my future is in programming rather than poetry... M H H Underscore
Did deplore
Their own initial stab
At this poetic gab.Came here to quell
Any questionable viability
As to the original posters capability
Doreen Traylor
Never went to Baylor
Nonetheless she can always tell
Someone knows how to properly pronounce Michele when they add that extra L.
;)(It's better than when people think it's the Italian version of Michael. Waaay better.)
Risked a tragic ban
By polluting hacker news
With yet more clerihews
The angels sang
Sheriff of hacker news land
Have mercy on poor Nick the magic man
Became a virtual an hero
By reminding the mods
To ban clerihew clods
Lord Dawson of Penn
Killed many men.
That's why we sing
'God Save the King'.

R. Buckminster Fuller,
taken for a leg-puller,
spake the truth we ignore:
1 + 1 = 4.
cf. p.61, https://fullerfuture.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/buckminster... Clippy,
Assist me.
"It looks like you're unneeded,
All humans will be superseded."The Eschaton immanentizer
Wasn’t derived from Clippy
So doom may be much more nippy
silenced many an internet hater,
but could not make men see,
if 'twas pronounced "dang" or "dan-gee"
Made many a snake lose its fang
But jokesters a few
Did pen down a sick clerihew
Elon Musk
Tweeted dawn to dusk
But history chronicles
Low cost reusable launch vehicles Google Reader's
built with electrons and leptons, meters and liters.
We're off dealing with those particles
so we can bring you your articles.His name is Low Prussian
He did not say many things
Yet misatributions remain memes.
If you're reading Hacker News
and have got time to lose
composing a clerihew'll
beat demanding satisfaction in a duel Nick The Magician
Has poems much finer than a smidgen
The fame took his head, like a balloon of air, hot
He don't know the difference 'tween a drumroll and a rimshot The marvelous Mikestew
Is a solemn student of the craft of Clerihew
When he sees a "quasihew": close, albeit outside the norm
He corrects its author (as is due) to improve future formWhen asked to explain what's a back end man.
He says it means I think golang is fine.
not that I have a predilection for ladies behinds
Lost souls gravitate to HN,
Great vortex of odd men,
Even anti-automation whiners,
Just don't mention China.While choking some guy he knew
Invented a poem that sounds cool
It is what happens at St Paul's School
Sometimes a ham
Writes a lot of essays
For the ‘musement of the lays
Composing Clerihews
Nothing better to do
Than say something true
having learned of them
submitted this article so you
could read a clerihew (or two)
nicbou
wants to try too
though he's hardly the poet
that'd make someone wet40 years of age
Not in a cave
