Clerihew poems

Directions: Choose one character from the novel and write a Clerihew poem about them.  The format is: line 1 must end in a proper name, line 2, 3, 4 describes the person.  Lines 1 and 2 must rhyme and so do lines 3 and 4.  The poems are meant to be humorous but for this assignment, they can be any tone.

 

 

Example:

 

The enemy of Harry Potter
Was a scheming plotter.
I can't tell you what he's called; I'd be ashamed
To name "he who must not be named."
