What are the poems called that go down with a word there describing?

You're likely thinking of poems called "Clerihew".

A clerihew is a four-line humorous poem that follows these rules:

* Line 1: The first line must be the name of a person (often famous).

* Line 2 & 3: Rhyme together.

* Line 4: Rhymes with line 2 and 3.

The name "Clerihew" was invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley, who was the first person to write them. He even published a book of his own clerihews, making them a popular form of lighthearted poetry.

Here's an example:

Edmund Clerihew Bentley

Was a writer of great intelligency,

And wrote a clerihew,

About the great, and the few.
