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.

Unlike Michael Schumacher
Who always kept one on hand; when his female assistant mis-solved those complex theorems, he'd whack her.
It's nice, but doesn't "Euler" rhyme with "boiler"?
Plummy voiced art critic Brian Sewell [Kim] I'm afraid I've still only got a provisional poetic licence :o)
Would like to douse modern art with lighter fuel
And had he been born a hundred years earlier, he would have wanted to take Brasso
When he saw the works of Picasso.
Superman
"That's what he thinks" says multi-tasking super wo - man More fun with Brian Sewell
When struck by red kryptonite
He goes out like a light
Humphrey Lyttleton, jazz trumpeter and host of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

Phil - Humphrey Lyttleton, jazz trumpeter and host of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
His passing all will rue
In the Morniverse there will be a hole
For one who played with soul.
Madonna
(Blessings be upon her)
Fondled Britney
Very quickly.
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Has, apparently, as foul a mouth as the late Philip Larkin, but the similarity ends there as he does not live in Hull, even Brevity is soul of wit, blah, blah, blah, but WTF am I supposed to do with this? grumble, rage, fume.
So he takes 'medication' [Rosie] I knew you'd rise to the challenge :-)
For the sensation.
Steve Davis
His wife's called Mavis (Chalky) Course you did, m'dear.
If you'll bring me her head
I'll kill you dead.
Alfredo Garcia
Lives in fear
That he will lose his head, like Marie Antoinette or the Baptist, John
Or worse, that he'll be played in the remake by Vince Vaughn

So meretricious
Sang about anarchy
Which made the BBC rather panicky
Fred Bloggs
Had two dogs
While that Damon guy- with the first name Matt
Had acquired a taste for Baltic sprat
Lloyd George

Unlike Disraeli [CdM] I presume that's what you had in mind.
Golda Meir
Was told, "stay 'ere!"
But she moved instead to Palestine
Which is known more for milk and honey than sherry or wine
Walid Jumblatt
Auditioned for Take That
As did Tony Blair
Back when he had more hair
John Terry
Is currently feeling somewhat less than merry
While Avram Grant
Heard his final chant

Has hair in which one might not be surprised to findamouse
William Butler Yeats
Was descended from Geats
While Bill Gates
Is one of Henry VIII's.
Ezra Pound
So profound
