I love the picture. I love the poem. Bentley was a man ahead of his time. His ideals were expensive but he still took the chance. Now his ideas live long after he is gone. Great work.

Hmm. I didn't know Bently's were owned by Rolls-Royce, but then again, it's been a while since I've been to those dealerships. LOL Excellent poem, my friend. And the added history lesson is a bonus that I hope pushes this over the top.

Well done. :)

Thanks, Edward. Not much chance of either of us getting near one of these on a teacher's salary - perhaps when we're both famous writers???

I like your Clerihew veddy veddy much! It is both informative and funny, and had me Googling W.O. to find out more. Love your end rhyme! Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest.

Thanks, JuneYvonne - and for organising the contest as well - I have come across the Clerihew before, but this is the first time I've tried writing one - hard to get the tone right I found. I did formulate a good one as I was going to sleep last night, but when I awoke this morning it had totally vanished from my brain!!!

I liked this poem. I've been fortunate enough to have been in a Bentley and I can say with out a doubt is was "Veddy Noice" Great poem and good luck in this contest.

This is a veddy, veddy original poem. :) I love the photo. There is an old fashioned feel to this poem. Makes me think of my grandparents. :) I think it's cute how you played with the words. Good luck. ~Yona

Extremely clever especially with the photo,title and wording used. I liked the way you tied Bentley and Rolls-Royce together. Your poem followed the poem style correctly with a comical flair and finesse. If I had a sixth star to give this would be "six..."
