clerihew (KLER-uh-hyoo) noun

A humorous, pseudo-biographical verse of four lines of uneven length, with the rhyming scheme AABB, and the first line containing the name of the subject.

[After writer Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), who originated it.]

Here is one of the first clerihews he wrote (apparently while feeling bored in a science class):
Sir Humphrey Davy
Abominated gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium

So, these things are fun, or at least I think so... let's have some of you put your creative juices to work. Here's one about me.

funky munky
likes his peanut butter chunky
a fine lass indeed
is just the thing he needs

Took like a minute to write. Get to work kids!!

Okaaay, I'll get back to you on that one!
