For Who's the Who Whose News is New

Author's Note:
This is a (hopefully entertaining) poem that I wrote because it's foggy outside and I wanted to write a cheerful poem.  I am focusing on voice.

For who's the who whose news is new
About the Lemon Lake
With caterpillars eight feet long
And crazy, giant snakes?

For who's the who whose news is new
About the Stone Wall Castle
Where the knights where shining armor
And fight in mighty battles

For who's the who whose news is new
About Sir Leprechaun
Who is very merry, not so hairy
Strange, weird, crazy, odd

For who's the who whose news is new
About the Princess Pat
With her good ol' ricka bamboo
But exactly what is that

For who's the who whose news is new
About an evil queen
She's really nasty, warty, gross
Disgusting she would be

For who's the who whose news is new
About the fair Prince Charming
He rides his horse and combs his hair
And helps out with the farming

For who's the who whose news is new
About a little elf
That stands merely 2 feet tall
And can't reach the highest shelf

For who's the who whose news is new
About a book that's read
Containing a medieval story
To put children right to bed
