"pokes fun at" and Clerihew

Reader's Digestの１０月号に "Clerihew" と呼ばれるとても興味深い人物四行詩の事が書いてありました。
Clerihew is a four-line poem that pokes fun at the famous. Invented for British writer Edmund Clerihew Bentley, these mini-verses have three rules: They rhyme aabb, they're about a celebrity named in the first line, and as for the meter? There are no rules.
Example:
Actor Harrison Ford
Was feeling extraordinarily bored.
So he grabbed his hat and picked up his bones
And starred in yet another Indiana Jones.
まずは上の説明文の最初にある "poke fun at" を調べます。
Dictionary.com: to ridicule or mock, esp. covertly or slyly: In her novel, she pokes fun at her ex-husband.
古文、文学、詩、能などは苦手なのですが、狂歌、狂言は面白いと感じる私としては "Clerihew" にその内に挑戦したいと思います。
