A clerihew is a whimsical four-line verse of the form AABB, the first line of which is the name of a famous person. By way of contrast, a Japanese haiku typically comprises three unrhymed lines with seventeen syllables (5,7,5) and evokes the natural world. This personal collection of clerihews and haikus-some daft, some bawdy-has as its exclusive focus the wondrous, whacky world of association football. It would make an ideal (and inexpensive) gift for aficionados of the ’Beautiful Game.’

  • WESTPORTED
    Blaise Cronin
    ’One of the noblest views in the world...’ In rain-splattered, flower-powered Westport you’ll hear William Makepeace Thackeray’s fulsome words intoned more often than the Rosary. The much-fêted town, nestling at the edge of majestic Clew Bay and overlooked by conical Croagh Patrick-that most holy of holy mountains-is as tiny as it is tidy, as cute as it is cosmopolitan.
