What is the Meaning of Ad hominem?

Ad hominem

Once upon a grand debate
About the shape of dinner plates
My opponent filled me with disgust
He did not address what I said
But attacked my character instead
Saying I was not someone he could trust.

Arguing ad hominem
He said the state my life was in
Disqualified me from a point of view
"Sir," Said he, "It's clear to me
"You have the brain of a monkey
And clearly should be living in a zoo!"

But I argued back again
Not attacking but ad rem
Sticking to my guns and argument
Said I, "Have you nothing to say
About the shape of plates today?
What say you sir and make it relevant!".
