Poetry anyone?

I learned a new word today - Clerihew.  In case it's new to you too, a Clerihew is a humerous poem about a famous person. There are four lines, the person's name ends the first line; the first two lines rhyme and the last two lines rhyme.  Here are two examples:

Sir Humphry Davy 
Abominated gravy. 
He lived in the odiun 
Of having discovered sodium.

James Hogg 
Kept a dog, 
But being no shepherd, 
He did not keep a leopard. 

I'm sure you can do better than either one of these.  Think politicians and have some fun.
