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.

Judas Iscariot
Had such a burden of guilt that he could barely carry it
Borges wrote a story in which Judas was the Saviour
How else to explain such odd behaviour?
(Apols for taking two lines, but they came to me fully formed.)
The great prophet, peace be upon him
Surrounded in the heavens, by cherubim and seraphim
Must be pissed off at what those fundamentalists are up to
And, consoling himself in drink, found that one was insufficient, so supped two.
John Cleese
Has remarkable knees
Whereas those of Terry Jones
are knobbly old bones
Eric Idle
Studied at Heidel-
berg
He preferred that town to Stuttgart
Which he thought down at heel, or other foot part. . . . . . contrived
Posh Spice
Has lice
With a pair of shears
She'll cut off David's ears or perhaps other bits
Madonna
An adoptive momma
Is such a material girl
And wishes she'd married an imperial earl.
Harry Belafonte - This is getting to be a habit
Is the hero of US Ambassador to Iraq John Negroponte
Maybe because he wants to be in America or because he has an Island in the Sun
Or perhaps because he wants to record a song that gets to number one
Michael Vaughan - to save nfras the job
Probably wishes he had not been born
W.G. Grace [Vaughan] I prefer to pronounce it Faugh ghan, as in 'conclusion'.
Would have called him a disgrace. Nice easy one, ISP. :-)
Jenny Agutter
Few would toss the term "slag" at 'er
But you can't help but notice
To be alone with her would surpass the joys of the lotus.
Biggie Smalls
gets shot, falls
