Comments on the clue
1.Letter mixture for Centenary neither starts nor ends with C or Y
2.Reminiscent of the limerick 'that my poetry doesn't scan/ because I try to fit in as many syllables into the first line as I possibly can …
3.Second line appears to be just a definition
4.scans badly. what's the wordplay in line 2?
5.The rhyming is a bit off, and the connection between the lines not really apt
6.There is just a definition for crossowrd here, not a standard clue
