Quintets or, perhaps, Limerics.
1. There was a very arrogant cat That believed he would beat any rat. But two mice made him hide, And he wished he could fly. What a hen-hearted arrogant cat. 2. There was a very courageous guy That said he was not afraid to fly. When passengers asked why, “If we crash”, he replied, “I’ll jump up”. What a courageous guy. 3. There once was quite an enormous frog That got crazy listening to rock. Then it jumped on a drum Croaked and popped out its tongue, And the people liked watching that frog. 4. There was a girl with such a big ear That boys found her rather queer. And how else could they think? As she wore one ear-ring That was much bigger than her big ear. 5. There was a dog with a tiny tail. He was often asked to tell the tale How a wolf ate it. Though that wolf was beat, But that thief left nothing to retail. 6. There was a very talented cat That played the piano. Ha! Not too bad! And how was he taught? The best sour cream was bought And put on the key-board for that cat. 7. There was a spaniel with such big ears That they didn’t let the owner hear. But when they went hunting, His master used some string, And that string wound up that spaniel’s ears. 8. They once hitched a ride a sailing ship Crossing the see that was very deep. Mad Cap made them drink flip. They puked but had to keep. And don’t even think they tried to fib.
