Well, this will be an interesting personal challenge! I wonder if I will succeed?
Hey, this wasn’t that hard! Mostly because I wrote terrible terrible poetry that didn’t always even match the syllable scheme. Turns out bad poetry is very easy. Must be why there is so much of it in the world.
Limerick 1
There once was a man named Shahrukh
Who tried to be bad but it didn’t tukh
He played a villian
But the will wasn’t in ’em
And in the end hero was his nook
Haiku 1
Baadshah is witty
King Khan is esoteric
SRK is smart
Limerick 2
There was a young man from Delhi
He wanted to earn food for his belly
He came to Bombay
Fame took him away
And now he can feed every Tom Dick and Ellie
Haiku 2
Shah Rukh and Gauri
King and Queen, husband and wife
Mother and Father
Sonnet
When I think upon Shahrukh and his fame
I tell the world rejoice as he is here
When I consider the po’er of his name
I feel the joy spreading from here to there
If only all could love him as I do
The world would be a place of joy and light
The world is dark; I know it is not true
Shahrukh is the moon in the dark of night
Someday all will know the Baadshah will rule
Someday all will bow before the King Khan
Some sweet day the world will no more be cruel
His great reign will go on and on and on
This poem is bad, I do the best I can
He will forgive me, for I am a fan
Blank Verse
SRK is Shahrukh is Shah Rukh is Shah is Mine

Lol!
I wrote this limerick years ago on another site, which sadly has closed.
It was a challenge to write about his films or characters.
Not exactly Shakespeare….
A Weepy Limerick
There is a sweet man in Mumbai
Who’s always making me cry.
Like when Aman gets sick
And gives Naina the flick.
I just bawl when he’s saying good-bye.
In Dil Se the hero goes Boom!
Making me gasp, scream and swoon.
Even with a big net
He can’t catch the girl yet.
But my tissues could fill a whole room.
I really am hoping that Veer
Says the right words to his dear.
Drop her waist-deep in water,
Take her home like he oughter,
So I don’t have to shed all those tears.
Now Devdas, he is the worst.
His whole life is totally cursed.
When he lies in the mud
And that big gate goes thud!
My heart feels its going to burst.
Oh Shahrukh you’re really not fair,
With your beaut eyes, lips, chin and your hair.
You make grown women cry
Without blinking an eye.
I feel trapped in your wildcat lair.

Yes, I think that might be the best one. It’s also the one where I completely stopped caring about counting syllables, which greatly opened up my creativity.

Wow, I’m impressed. Is there anything you can’t do, Margaret? Even bad poetry is a fun mental exercise. The last line is my favorite.
