A Fish I Wish
Oh how I wish I was a fish to swim in the deep blue sea. I would swim up and down and all around in laps of two or three. There would be no rules to follow,all fun down here. On land rules are trouble,a real pain in the rear. Humans are not wanted down here and for them you must always ..........

Ode to a Dark Kitty Ninja
Every night when darkness falls an innocent kitten breaks cat law. Balancing like an acrobat, walks along an oak tree branch. Hurry's over the roof with speed. Then begins his robbing scheme.

MARTY'S ADVENTURE
An Irish pub, the place to be, For a couple drinks just you and me, Oh please! One more round oh kind sir, A little more I'll be drunk for sure, Later my head begins to spin, With thoughts of puking, where's the trash bin, I remain to gander a line, At that fine honey, man she is ..........

Humorous Poems: 11-20 of 69


As the funny quote goes, “Never take life seriously; nobody gets out alive anyways.”  As oddly as that statement is, it also is so true.  Funny poems help us be grounded in life.  With all the stressors of life and the sometimes overwhelming lifestyles today and work we need to take some time and allow ourselves some time to have a good laugh.  Humorous poems are found through history especially in old English pub songs and Celtic folk songs, which laid the foundation for Limericks in the future.  Story telling, which is one of the first ways humans recorded history orally, grew out of the playful, self –entertainment needs of humans.  Funny stories and poetry satisfy the needs to sometimes explain the surrounding physical world so that we don’t allow daily mundane stressors to take charge of our lives.  Funny poems are an antidote for relief from the world’s hardships.

These Funny Poems combine humor, wit and wisdom to make you smile and laugh. Enjoy! Funny poems such as limericks evoke laughter, which encompasses happiness.  They provide a variety of wit to it that conventional writing styles would not permit.  Comical relief is always good and sets one in a good mood.  There is an endless array of inspirational humorous poems to be put into writing.

One of the most common forms of funny poetry is the limerick.  The history of the limerick is dubious but best found its start in 14th century England as short humorous lyrics in pubs.  Shakespeare often used them in his works to add a bit of wit.  They were popularized in the Victorian age as nonsensical funny children poetry but also shared other major themes, such as:  love poems, drinking songs, poems of national affair, and satires on public figures. 

Imagery in funny poems will hit the right cord.  They have a keen awareness of its separate elements and being able to give them out in just the right measurements.  Humorous stories are able to replace the natural arc of stories the reader is used to receiving a certain way to have a pleasant laugh.

Feeling down, depressed, or overwhelmed?  What better remedy than a good laugh?  What is the risk?  The only symptoms are a smile on your face and if it is a good laugh a stomach pain and tears from joy.  Funny poems, such as limericks, are a great therapeutic method of taking off some of the stresses of life.  Laughter is a common language that all can identify with; it is a language that spans beyond words.  With funny poems as the bait you can use the powerful and pervasive energy of laughter to bring people together.  To have funny poems makes life more enjoyable and helps people of all languages speak the same language of laughter.  So delve in some great funny poems and have yourself a giggly drink of laughter of some creative and funny poetry

Funny Poem of the Day

THE ANSWER

I've found a perfect, foolproof way
Of having just a perfect day
With no harsh word or unkind deed
To keep me from the peace I need

I never fear a traffic jam
Or folks who aren't kind...as I am
No rain or sleet to soil my shoes
Nor cloudy days to bring the blues

No harsh concerns can furl my brow
Because I have the answer now
To keep all worries from my head
I simply don't get out of bed



- RANDY THOMAS



Quote of the Day

THIS POEM This poem is not addressed to you. You may come into it briefly, but no one will find you here, no one. You will have changed before the poem will. Even while you sit there, unmovable, you have begun to vanish. And it does no matter. The poem will go on without you. It has the spurious glamor of certain voids. It is not sad, really, only empty. Once perhaps it was sad, no one knows why. It prefers to remember nothing. Nostalgias were peeled from it long ago. Your type of beauty has no place here. Night is the sky over this poem. It is too black for stars. And do not look for any illumination. You neither can nor should understand what it means. Listen, it comes with out guitar, neither in rags nor any purple fashion. And there is nothing in it to comfort you. Close your eyes, yawn. It will be over soon. you will forge the poem, but not before It has forgotten you. And it does not matter. It has been most beautiful in its erasures. O bleached mirrors! Oceans of the drowned! Nor is one silence equal to another. And it does not matter what you think. This poem is not addressed to you.
