A clerihew is a whimsical, four-line biographical poem invented by Edmond Clerihew Bentley. The lines are comically irregular in length, and the rhymes, often contrived, are structured AABB.
Here's one I wrote:
Gier Hasnes
About Chesterton he does obsess.
The stories of his quests are legion.
What else would you expect of the world’s greatest living Norwegian?

I hope to write more during this coming year and submit them for judging at the next Chesterton Conference Clerihew Contest.
