Apart from the Sonnet, which is invariably 14 lines, and usually about love, the only formalised verse form in the English language is the Limerick. A proper Limerick is invariably improper, constructed to a very precise scansion and rhyming scheme, and usually involves unlikely people or animals doing very odd things indeed.
To start you off, here's one of my favourites.
A young Curate, new to the Cloth,
At abusing himself was no sloth.
He preached masturbation
To the whole congregation
And was washed down the aisle on the froth.
And next, The Tragic Tale of...
The Farter From Sparta
There was a young fellow from Sparta,
A really magnificent farter,
On the strength of one bean
He'd fart "God Save the Queen",
And Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
He could vary, with proper persuasion,
His fart to suit any occasion.
He could fart like a flute,
Like a lark, like a lute,
This highly fartistic Caucasian.
This sparkling young farter from Sparta,
His fart for no money would barter.
He could roar from his rear
Any scene from Shakespeare,
Or Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado".
He'd fart a gavotte for a starter,
And fizzle a fine serenata.
He could play on his anus
The Coriolanus:
Oof, boom, er-tum, tootle, yum tah-dah!
He was great in the Christmas Cantata,
He could double-stop fart the Toccata,
He'd boom from his ass
Bach's "B-minor Mass",
And in counterpoint, "La Traviata".
Spurred on by a very high wager
With an envious German named Bager,
He proceeded to fart
The complete oboe part
Of a Haydn "Octet in B-major".
His repertoire ranged from classics to jazz,
He achieved new effects with bubbles of gas.
With a good dose of salts
He could whistle a waltz
Or swing it in razzamatazz.
Hi basso profundo with timbre so rare
He rendered quite often, with power to spare.
But his great work of art,
His 'Fortissimo Fart',
He saved for the "Marche Militaire".
One day he was dared to perform,
"The William Tell Overture" Storm,
But naught could dishearten
Our spirited Spartan,
For his fart was in wonderful form.
It went off in capital style,
And he farted it through with a smile,
Then, feeling quite jolly,
He tried the finale,
Blowing double-stopped farts all the while.
The selection was tough, I admit.
But it did not dismay him one bit,
Then, with ass thrown aloft
He suddenly coughed...
And collapsed in a shower of shit.
His bunghole was blown back to Sparta,
Where they buried the rest of our farter,
'Neath a gravestone of turds
Inscribed with the words:
"To the Fine Art of Farting, A Martyr".
so- further contributions please?
Again, limericks only if you don't mind, and here are two more so you know the form:
There was a young sailor named Bates,
Who danced the Fandango on skates.
But he fell on his cutlass,
Which rendered him nutless,
And practically useless on dates
and last of all:
From the depths of the crypt at St. Giles
Came a scream that resounded for miles.
Said the vicar, 'By Gracious,
Has Father Ignatius
Forgotten the Bishop has piles?'
Let's keep this one going....
