Clerihew
The Clerihew is a biography that makes fun of a famous person. It tends to show the subject of the poem from an unusual point of view. It usually has 4 lines of irregular length and is metered for a comical effect. The Clerihew poem is not meant to be satirical or mean-spirited but does seek to show them in an absurd light that is not the norm for other poetry.
Yogi bear loved to rob tourists of their lunch,
raiding picnic baskets for brunch.
Always on the lookout for the park ranger,
his antics grew even stranger.
Boo-Boo routinely got caught with pilfered snacks,
being Yogi's friend had drawbacks.
Tagging along on the promise of a treat,
he served the master of deceit.
(Clerihew)
