Read it, selecting words that are easy to rhyme. There are rhyming dictionaries to help you, but I like to pick a word and then go through the alphabet finding what rhymes. Decide what kind of rhyme scheme you want: AA, BB, etc. is the easiest but you can do AB, AB etc.
Take the word "pig"
big, dig, fig, gig, jig, wig and here are 2 lines that come rapidly to mind.
Here's a story about a pig (8 beats)

Get the idea? Try something and post it if you would like "feedback."

In school i have to write a POEM about story from the newspaper. can anone help me? that's the story:
TAMWORTH ONE COPS IT IN COPSE, ENDING GREAT ESCAPE.
After more than a week on the run the Sundance Pig was not going to come quietly. His partner might have been captured, but the porker that got away was determined to enjoy his last moments of freedom. For hours again yesterday he frustrated police officers, RSPCA inspectors, dog handlers and a watching army of 100 journalists and camera crews by hiding in a dense thicket of brambles at Tetbury Hill Malmesbury, in Wiltshire. Flushed out at last by a spaniel called Pepsi, the fugitive acampered across a field to a copse before turning to face the inevitable tranquil-liser gun. Even then he was not going to make it easy. Twice the an-aesthic-laden darts bounced off his ride. But as RSPCA inspector Mike Harley fired for a third time the pig's movement slowed. A ''snout grabber'' was placed over his head to restrain his movemants. The pig's days on the run were over. Last night the youthful young Ginger Tamworth boar, who escaped from the town's slaughterhouse with a female companion, was resting in a veterinary hospital's recovery pen. ''It's an ordinary healthy pig'' said mr Harley. ''im very glad that we caught it today and that it is a happy ending'' Vets and the daily mail which now claims ownership of the two pigs, were taking no chances that an animal described by police as ''cunning and devious'' would repeat his escape. Sundance - groggy but boack on his feet - was being held in a chained and padocked pen behind 6ft high gates. Vet Fran Baird expected the boar to make a full recover but said it wolud remain at the hospital for a day or so. Once recovered the boar will be taken to the Langley Wild Animal Rescue Sanctuary, near Chippenham, where ovners Kevin and Debbie Stinchocombe are already looking after sundance's companion - the pig formerly known as Butch, now renamed Tammy. The drama, which warranted the close attention of American TV crews as well as the massed ranks of the British Media, began on Thusday last week when council roadsweeper Arnoldo Dijulio was delivering three ginger Tamworth pigs to Newman's slaughterhouse in Malmesbury. As the trailer in which they were being carried was opened, two of the animals made off in front of stunned slaughterhouse staff. Thwy Wriggled under the perimeter fence, raced oner a field and swam across the swollen river Avon. Their exploits made then a cause celebre in Malmesbury and far beyond. Radio 5 Live devoted a morning phone-in session to the issue. ITN sent its helicopter to try to find the pigs, and the King's Arms Hotel, in Malmesbury, did its bit by displaying a board urging: ''save the Tamworth Two. Eat Beef on the Bone.''
Sorry if I made any mistakes. Thank you.

I'm a terrible poet, but I can see that this story has some humorous poetry in it.
'Twas a slow news day
When Sundance got away.
His life was at stake,
So he made his break.
