Over Medicated
Sitting on the edge of the bed, feet swinging back and forth, I'm able to kick the medical table. Back of the door an eye chart, cover one eye as I wait. Paper gown, hope my back end won't show, remember to sit straight. I hear him fumbling with my medical chart. This is my room yet he ..........

How do you like your hearing aid? Have you adjusted to it yet? It can surely change your life. Your family likes it too, I bet. I ain't told them I got it. I can hear every word they speak. And I ain't gonna tell them either. Changed my will three times this ..........

LIFE IN A FISH BOWL
I'm living in a fish bowl, and I think I'm growing gills. I'm getting all misshapen, and I still can't pay my bill. Like a germ under a microscope, they watch me every day. They want to know what I'll do next, and what I have to say. I'm really not that special, just an aging flower ..........

The Happiness Salesman

The One That Got Away
Are the fish biting today? I guess we will see. The sun is just rising. Is it meant to be? With my pole in my hand, I head for the shore. I don't need a tackle box, Just worms, nothing more. I find a nice rock, 'Ah, this one will do.' It's just the right size. I kick off my ..........

My Dinner Loves Dancing
My food loves to prance, to jump, to dance; I wait for the time, I wait for the chance! As mommy goes in and out of the room; tables and chairs become their ballroom! I flick my fingers; swing my wrist. Beans and turkey are doing the twist! Peas, plumbs, apples or mangos; on to the ..........

Humorous Poems: 31-40 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

GOODWILL TO MEN- GIVE US MONEY It was Christmas Eve on a Friday the shops was full of cheer, with tinsel in the windows, and presents twice as dear. a thousand Father Christmases, sat in their little huts, and folk was buying crackers and folk was buying nuts. All up and down the country, before the light was snuffed, turkeys they get murdered, and cockerels they got stuffed, Christmas cakes got marzipanned, and puddin's they got steamed mothers they got desperate and tired kiddies screamed. Hundredweight's of Christmas cards, went flying through the post, with first class postage stamps on those, you had to flatter most. within a million kitchens, mince pies was being made, on everyone's radio, "White Christmas", it was played. Out in the frozen countryside men crept round on their own, hacking off the holly, what other folks had grown, mistletoe on willow trees, was by a man wrenched clear, so he could kiss his neighbour's wife, he'd fancied all the year. And out upon the hillside, where the Christmas trees had stood, all was completely barren, but for little stumps of wood, the little trees that flourished all the year were there no more, but in a million houses, dropped their needles on the floor. And out of every cranny, cupboard, hiding place and nook, little bikes and kiddies' trikes, were secretively took, yards of wrapping paper, was rustled round about, and bikes were wheeled to bedrooms, with the pedals sticking out. Rolled up in Christmas paper the Action Men were tensed, all ready for the morning, when their fighting life commenced, with tommy guns and daggers, all clustered round about, "peace on Earth - Goodwill to Men" the figures seemed to shout. The church was standing empty, the pub was standing packed, There came a yell, "Noel, Noel!" And glasses they got cracked. From up above the fireplace, Christmas cards began to fall, and trodden on the floor, said: "Merry Christmas, to you all."
