Clerihew for Robert W. Jenson (1930-2017)

Robert W. Jenson – Jens –
Saw creation through a triune lens,
And heard it in the key of Christ,
A very, very, very nice
Prelude to the fugue of Paradise,
Composed by God the Holy, Holy, Holy,
Who, of course, is roly-poly.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch,
Blessings to beloved Blanche.

    To be a Clerihew
    Of words there must be very few,
    Of lines, but four,
    Certainly no more.

    But, Dave, Kim Fabricius
    Has a wit so auspicious
    That I would not terribly mind
    If he added a line
    Or two
    To a clerihew.

    A clerihew is "typically of two rhyming couplets" (Wikipedia, my italics). For Jens, "atypically" is not only permitted, surely it is demanded.

    For "typical"l clerihews by Ben and me,
    Google "clerihews at F&T"
    And see ye
    Many.

    Cheers,
    Kim
