Poetic Forms: Clerihew.

Clerihews are generally short and precise in their form, with a focus on amusing the reader. These poems are simple in their construction and can be very fun to write. The name comes from Edmund Clerihew Bentley, who established the form as a teenager.

Clerihews are four lines long and have an AABB rhyme scheme. They are about a specific person, and the second line must rhyme with the person's name. This is where they make for good fun between friends. Clerihews are meant to be funny, even silly. There are no restrictions concerning rhythm or number of syllables.

An Example:
  
There once lived a hobbit named Frodo
Whose stature resembled that of a dodo
He liked to wander, get dirty, and sing
But when he took baths, he always left a Ring.

I found this cute nod to Tolkien's character Frodo on the internet, author unknown; however, I had to add it because it sparked my interest in clerihews again.
