a clerihew is a four-line poem usually humourous and always biographical. in fact, it takes its name from a person too, edmund clerihew bentley. oh and the rhyme scheme is always a-a-b-b.
here's an example i liked
Martin Luther King was not a king.
He did not have horses, a crown, or anything.
He preached a lot and had a dream
Of everybody eating ice cream.
