In collections of the original Clerihews by E. C. Bentley, there is always a splendidly silly index. I have tried to enter into the spirit of this.

One Christmas, a friend of Sartre
Invited him to visit Chartres
But he preferred to spend the festive season
Writing "A Critique of Dialectical Reason"
(Index under:-
Windows, rose, failureto appreciate
Christmas, Bah! Humbug!)
....................................
At a cricket match, George Orwell
Neglected to keep the score well
But this brought him no reproof
From the ministry of Truth
(Index under:-
Wisden, inclusion in, unsuitability for)
....................................
Mahler's "Fruits of the Earth"
Had its premiere in Perth
But the audience of Diggers
Greeted it with sniggers
(Index under:-
Classicism, in music, Australian insistence on)
