Janice, I’ve found the following to be a reliable online reference resource on forms:

I don’t see the pattern in question listed under 5-line Stanzas, so I think it’s a nonce form. I’ve had a shot at it.


The Unbearable Koala

First-time tourists, be aware:
it’s wrong to say koala bear;
but worse, the beast you should prepare
****yourself to meet
****is far from sweet.

He’s no Rupert, he’s no Teddy;
You wouldn’t want him in your bed; he
sleeps all day, yet none’s more ready —
****and none gladder —
****to void his bladder.

The koala that you fondly cuddle
will pay you promptly with a puddle.
No sooner hold him than a flood’ll
****drench your cell —
****and what a smell!
