What the heck is a clerihew?
Wikipedia describes it as:
A clerihew is a whimsical, four-line biographical poem invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley. The first line is the name of the poem's subject, usually a famous person put in an absurd light, or revealing something unknown or spurious about them. The rhyme scheme is AABB, and the rhymes are often forced.
So here's one I wrote about me:

Doesn't know what to do.
She keeps on writing
So why aren't editors biting?
Be clever and write your own- it's a lot of fun! (Just don't be mean, 'k?)
