I'll go with sillies. Here are some silly verses about saints. You could call this a three-doggerel night.

1.
Of holiness St. Fronto had no lack
Except for his indulgence in tabac.
All said, "toBACco's silly for a FRONTo."
Yet if you needed blessings, he came pronto.

2.
Harvey Sweeney became St. Frumentius
After a career selling dubious debentius
And to this day becomes contentious
When someone mentius his dentius.

3.
St. Fulbert ate so much it was unnerving
To watch him gobble down each extra serving.
They'd ask him, "Aren't you Fulbert?" He'd say, "Nope."
He cost so much they had to make him pope.

OK, here is useful but silly poem I wrote in college to help me distinguish between two phyla in zoology class. Sing it to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Sponges are Porifera,
Corals, jellies, hydra-
These have metagenesis
And are Coelenterata.
Collar cells--Porifera.
Sting--Coelenterata.
Both lack mesoderm and are
The diploblastic phyla!
