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.

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.
Cher
Wears a wig because she has inadequate hair
While her ex-partner Sonny
Skied into a tree and didn't think it funny.
Steve Martin
Had absolutely nothing to do with the Rowan and Martin Laugh-in
This appellative similarity has yet, to my knowledge, to cause any great confusion
Yet stylistically one could be forgiven for not immediately coming to that conclusion.
Michael Caine
Failed to land a part in 'Citizen Kane'
While Orson Wells
Became cross when his name was spelled like "bells" and not like "belles".
Pianist and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy
Is known for his tendency to visit the kazi
While Liberace
Was probably more interested in Versace (Chalky) That's uncanny! It's almost exactly the same as what I was thinking of as a possible rhyme. Clearly you are as lavatorial as I am. Dear me.
Heather Locklear
had an infected cochlea You heard it here first.
As did John Wayne which apparently excused him from service in WW2 despite all the films suggesting the contrary view
Who just gritted his teeth and insisted it caused him no pain
Marco Polo
Did not travel solo
Unlike Sir Francis Chichester
Which is why he did not remain Mister
