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.

Who was hoping she'd be depicted as a kangaroo more than Rolf reckoned
Steve Irwin
Often dangled raw meat in front of crocodiles whose dinner he was servin'
His boldness was his demise
Said Germain Greer who was ever so sad that she had no chance to say her goodbyes
Ricky Ponting
Whose captaincy in the last Ashes series was found wanting
Relied heavilly on Shane Warne
But for whose contribution Australian hopes would have been folorn.
Alan Rickman
Has never had a suntan
But could he be a lovey, having trod the boards at the RSC?
That may be true, but his best work is on film, if you ask me.
John Barrowman
Is not portly; nor is he a slender narrow man
Seems to have a predilection for science fiction
In which he has a glamorous depiction
Nouri Kamal Al-Maliki
Heads a government that's cliquey
When shove comes to push
He wants rid of Bush as expected, Raak?
Link, frequent rescuer of Princess Zelda,
Actually plotted her abductions, so he could have an excuse for jumping into the fray each time, and to have held her
nice
Like your local bobby
It's done as a hobby quickly moving on ...
Paul Merton (Softers) Exactly as I had hoped. :-)
Paul Merton Try again
Is often certain
But his guest
He sometimes views as a pest
Matt Lucas
Can find comedy in the darnedest things, like the North Korean leader's threats to nuke us
But on the other hand his partner-in-crime David Walliams
Is basically a persistent depressive and is hooked on the Valiums.
Spike Milligan
Was mad, and shot flowers with a lily gun
But his radio, poetry and books
Are all worth second looks
Armando Iannucci
Can afford Gucci
He's even had his own television and radio shows
but where the humour was, nobody knows
The Editor of the News of the World
Spent £95 having his hair curled
However, the present holder of this post
Still publishes far more bollocks than most That was hard
Dame Judi Dench (Softers) I cocked up on the 3rd line, thinking that the Ed. was the abysmal Rebekah Wade
A very British wench
Until she got stuck in the water closet
-- Now that wasn't a very nice thing to mention, was it?
Helen Mirren
His in Austrilian mite called Dirren [Softers] Another nice easy rhyme [all Australian Crescenters] apologies
And all the corks dangling from his hat
Showed he was a bit of a twat. Further apologies.
Shilpa Shetty
Found the behaviour of her fellow contestants rather petty
Particularly that of the rather ugly and overweight "celebrity" Jade Goody
But the boss of Channel 4 wouldn't condemn it, would 'e?
Richard Harris
Left his cake out in the rain, but him it did not seem to embarrass
When acting, he used to ham a lot
And when shooting the movie musical about the Arthurian legend he was known to shout "Damn!" a lot
Barack Obama - careful now
According to certain rumour-mongerers is a radical Muslim just like Osama
The Democratic party is divided about his suitability as the Presidential candidate
But most of the rest of the country is piqued by the possibility of a leader who actually can orate
