A Clerihew is a comic verse consisting of two couplets and the specific aabb rhyming scheme. It was invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) at the age of 16. The poem is usually about a person or character. In most cases, the first line names the person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person.
Since this poem was invented by a kid, I thought I'd write about my three favorite kids.
My niece Katelyn Ruth
Just lost her first tooth.
She tells everyone what to do.
Always obsessed with the rules.
My niece Mackenzie Grace
Has the most innocent face,
Though I must confess
That she's always a mess.
My niece Alyson Spencer
Is quite young for me to know her.
But she's impossibly cute.
With a wide smile to boot.
