President Trump Sits on His Rump for Writers’ Cramp
President Trump Sits on His Rump

Former President Trump
Sat on his fat rump
Screaming at the TV
They are out to get me

New Prompt: Today we are going to play with the Clerihew. Information can be found here: "Clerihew"
The topic is yours to choose from.

Edmund Clerihew Bentley invented this form.

This form is not that difficult to try. You have to keep just a few rules to write the Clerihew right.

The Clerihew is four lines long.
The rhyme scheme is:
A/A/B/B

In the first line, you have to name a person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with that name.
The Clerihew should be funny.
There is no restriction in syllables or meters.

Example:

There she stands, our heartless Ann
She embarrasses people when she can
And if you screw up, she says with no blink:
“You are the weakest link!”
