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.

Will become an urban myth
Like many of her peers, she had a romance with silicone
And she remains newsworthy, even though she's dead and gone
Captain Sisko
Had allllll the right moves, and was always a big hit down the disco
What's more, ever since his wife died
He wakes up with stabbing pains down his right side
Sorry, there just don't seem to be enough Trekkies around, so trying to unblock the game
Sir Launcelot
Was famous for using his lance a lot
But Guinevere
In the company of Lancelot's lance was known to delightfully quiver
Richard Stilgoe
Used to have a stilted show
He played his piano while standing on tall stilts
At which one's will to live wilts.
Gordon Brown, texture like sun, lays me down with my mind he runs throughout the night no need to fight...
Perpetual frown (ISP) Can you get me some of the stuff you're on?
David Cameron
Does yammer on.
Gordon Brown, finer temptress, through the ages, he's heading west. From far away, stays for a day, never a frown, with Gordon Brown
Is the MP for what was my home town.
Whereas Robin Cook
Could easily be mistaken for a crook
Stephen Fry
Thinks he is wry
Alan Davies
Doesn't understand the ravies.
Hugh Laurie
Never had a starring role in Corrie
But playing Lord Peter Wimsey
Is, as a claim to having played a great rôle, rather flimsy.
[Softers] When was that, then? I'd like to see that.
William Shakespeare
Addressed many of his sonnets to a young man, the "Fair Youth" who Willy apparently homoerotically held as dear
Whereas Keats
Wrote letters that covered many sheets See for yourself, ISP: Jeeves and Wooster.
[Softers] I've got that DVD set (Excellent) but cannot see Lord Peter Wimsey anywhere. Are you confusing him with Bertie Wooster?
After all, one is a character in humorous P.G. Wodehouse novels, the other is a Dorothy L. Sayers detective so it's an easy mistake to make.
Hercule Poirot
Never knew when to say "no"
Whereas his sidekick Captain Arthur Hastings
Spends more time at wine tastings ISP - Ahhh!...
[ISP] Somewhere on the web there's a crossover story involving Bertie Wooster the amateur cracksman and Lord Peter Wimsey.
[Raak] Any clues? All I can find is Raffles the amateur cracksman.
Georges Seurat
[ISP] Here it is.

Un broad brush n'utilisait pas

Il a préféré des dots.
Bum. Let's tidy this up...

Projoy - Georges Seurat
Raak - Un broad brush n'utilisait pas
Darren - Il a préféré des points

Quant à ses admiratrices, they went "Mwa".
Matisse
Egalement, il était impressionniste
comme Mike Yarwood
Whose soul, like Matisse's, has now gone starward
Geoffrey Chaucer
Few were coarser
But his characters were true to life
Though it's unclear whether any were based on his wife
Garibaldi
Famous for both biscuits and perhaps less importantly, the reunification of Italy
Was abducted by Shadows
Then Hank Marvin presented him to the Pope as one of many cadeaux[Raak] Do you have to go out of your way to find words with no rhymes, or is it a gift?
Margaret Beckett
Is known to yell "Feck it!"
While Donald Duck
Says something altogether different
Mickey Mouse
Has much nous
