Clerihews

Wikipedia defines a Clerihew as a very specific kind of short humorous verse, typically with the following properties:

  * It is biographical and usually whimsical, showing the subject from an unusual point of view; but it is hardly ever satirical, abusive or obscene
  * It has four lines of irregular length (for comic effect)
  * The first line consists solely (or almost solely) of a well-known person's name.

Here are a few I wrote:

1. The thing about Chippy
Is that he always seems happy
He loves to smash balls
While we walk the halls

2. Ronald Brother Boombey
Many ways he has to make his day
He'll beat you at poker
At badminton, he's the commissioner

3. Odie is a good diver
And is great as a programmer
Mangas he loves to read
What completes his day is an Anime feed

4. Paul is quite quiet
Oh, but he can sing a duet
A computer for a brain
He likes the south where there's rain
