Limericks! I just discovered them! They are so much fun to read and write!
A limerick is a poem with a verse form of 5 lines with a rhyme scheme aabba. Which means lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 rhyme. Limericks are humorous!
Here are some examples from Edward Lear:
http://www.poetry-online.org/limericks.htm
There was once a young emo from town,
who could never get rid of his frown.
But he stopped being sad,
threw out all his plaid,
and dyed his green hair back to brown.
I wrote that one.
Rules!
-Must be a limerick in limerick form! But I'm flexible if you impress me.
-Must be funny!
-Can be about anything, as long as it's funny!
-Winner takes the gold and all the points!
-Please use good spelling and grammar!
-If I commented on it previously you can't enter it, sorry.
Ok. I'm excited about this.
Please, go about your limerick writing and make me giggle.
(Will comment every poem!)

Dang. I so want to enter, but nothing is coming to mind. Not humorous anyway.
