Clerihews

I really love writing clerihews. Unfortunately, most are inside jokes between me and my friends, so here are some of my better ones about book characters and musicians.

Benedict, Fish,
Had only one wish
If she would come-to
That wish would come true.

Dear Nickleback:
I want four minutes back.
Your new single is lame.
Your songs all sound the same!

~~~

My Darling Adam Young,
So sweetly have you sung
To me for near a year
And I love you, Adam, dear!

~~~

With an angel voice, Taylor sings
With glitter and glitz and popstar blings.
She sings of Stephens, and Corys, and jerks name Joe
We relate to her music; T'is why we love her so.
 

~~~

Edmund Pevense
It is clear to see
That you have changed, much so,
Since the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe.

~~~

Dearest, dearest Peeta,
really could not be sweeta
Until he was hijacked
Now we just want him back

~~~

some of them are rather failish, but oh well. ::)

So... is a clerihew just a four-line poem?

BTW, as a long-time fan of Nickelback, I have to correct your spelling of their name.  See italics.  I haven't heard their new single though.

Yes, a 4 line poem with the first line containing a proper noun, and an AABB rhyme scheme. Such as: 

Bridget, thank yo'/For catching my typo./My spelling can be bad, / For your honesty I am glad.

(that was terrible, but you get the point ::) )
