Of having discovered sodium. This was the first clerihew written by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875–1956).

Ches- terton, “when he sat listening to a chemical exposition, with his rather bored air and a blank sheet of blotting paper before him.” Bentley, one of the few people to have a word honoring his mid- dle name, could in Chesterton’s words “write clear and unadul- terated nonsense with . . . serious simplicity.” See georgian.
