Comments on the clue
1.Letter mixture for Centenary neither starts nor ends with C or Y
2.Nicely succinct and the rhyme works but extra syllables in the second line slightly mar the scansion.
3.Linkage not very strong, and just diversion as the definition seems a bit inadequate
4.Succinct and well constructed but outdone by others with more thematic or entertaining surface reading.
5."Diversion" could be anything, really.
