Cleri Who's Who
help
Four lines rhyming AABB - scansion, rhythm, metre and all that malarkey is as random as-u-like. Oh yes - the featured subject, usually a person, is mentioned in the first line.
Here's a full and frank(ly better) intro by Thos along with some that were made earlier.

Marco Polo
Went solo
Whereas Vasco de Gama
Was accompanied by a llama.
Guglielmo Marconi
Was considered by some to be a phoney
But by signalling across the Atltantic
He allowed The Times' American correspondents to become less frantic
What is it with this game and bastard rhymes?

Former Prime Minister Edward Heath (Irouleguy) It's a pedantic semantic antic.
Was proud of his teeth
In certain places better known as the Grocer
A ladies' man? Oh, no sir!
Maggie Thatcher
Can anyone match her?
What? The Iron Lady? Handbags at Dawn?
"Sink the Belgrano!" She gave Little Englanders the horn.
William Shatner
Took 'is missus by the scruff of the neck and threatened to flatten'er
Then sang "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"
And took care to over-emphasise the rhymonds [Raak] You're evidently in sadistic rhyming mood.
Charlotte Church
Should be given the birch
For beating up boyfriend's who have no discression or tact
Let her be whacked.
It's a foregone conclusion
That some of these poems instead of naming the subject straight off will only reference them by allusion
And, inevitably, while some will be formatted incorrectly,
others, though orthodox in form and hoping to excite the reader, will, through laborious witlessness, fail abjectly. Not getting at anyone, no, really.
Once paid a visit to Crewe
Sadly, he really wanted to be in Birmingham
Where he could have exercised his flabby thighs and begun firming 'em.
Charlotte Green Yummy! though not as yummy as Corrie Corfield, R4 fans.
Chocolate voice, serene With you all the way, Rosie:-)
Though she doesn't have the gherkins Euphemism invoked, and next rhyme forced.
Bun, lettuce, mayo, cheese, beef pattie and special sauce of Brian Perkins *sigh* I am so pleased that's over.
The itinerant, St Patrick
