Cleri Who's Who

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.

Being so introverted and self-effacing, nay.
Patsy Cline
Is no longer mine :-(
But the legacy of Twangy Guitar man Duane Eddy Dusted off (literally) some his 1959 singles last night. What taste I had in those days.
Was Heinz, already
Ogden Nash
His bones are ash alas . . .
His words, though, live on
To be long pondered upon
George Michael
Rides a unicycle
So there's nothing to sit on
For poor Elton John
Maya Angelou
Apparently an acclaimed African poetess and writer not previously known to me, but maybe to you
In fact she's a Yank
Who possibly owns a fishtank.
Lemuel Gulliver
Drank quite a bit upon his return from Lilliput, which swiftly destroyed his liver
Whereas Peter, Martin and Jack
Held back.
Richard Starkey
Is full of mullarkey
But I'm afraid, as a drummer (I set 'em up....)
, a bit of a bummer. (And I swallow the bait through sheer laziness because he wasn't all that bad, really.)
John Lennon (Let's go the whole hog.)
Who, although a multi-millionaire, wrote 'Imagine no possessions'
While Ringo
Had no such pretentious lingo. . . .thank God.
George Harrison (continuing the theme
Did not play lead guitar with a military band of Her Majesty's garrison
but the sainted Paul
Once knighted by her, often played with that band at hallowed Albert Hall.
.
Pete Best (flogging this one to death)
Dismissed by the Beatles in 1962, went to Germany to play drums at Oktoberfest
Whereas George Best
Never gives that kicking leg of his a rest.
Beatles manager Brian Epstein at least it can't get worse...
Had a fondness for alcholic beverages - except wine
On the other hand, George Martin
Arranged all the songs that had any art in.
