Funny Poems

Preface
(Written early 2024)
I considered added explanations for some of the words that people might not understand. But then I decided not to. Congrats, you just gave yourself homework by reading these poems! Enjoy looking for the meanings of the words you don't understand, have fun! If you absolutely can not find the meaning or the meaning you find doesn't make sense to you, please leave a comment. Let me know which word it is that confuses you, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Have a good day!
The Ocelot
There once was an ocelot,
Who sat in a sunspot,
And promptly got,
Incredibly hot.
ChitChat
Once there was a fat,
And very chubby Wombat,
Who went to the Meerkat,
And had a chitchat.
Tulip
They had a championship,
Among the citizenship,
For the best penmanship,
It was won by a tulip.
Dead
There once was a lad,
One in a chiliad,
He loved a hamadryad,
And fought in jihad,
But then he caught trichomonad,
And then he was dead.
Leaf
There once was a chief,
In much grief,
Because his fief,
Was the size of a leaf.
Green Bean
There once was a bean,
Who was very green,
And lived in a machine,
With a sardine,
In a dene,
In great Azbine.
Toothpaste
There was a two-faced,
Shiny little toothpaste,
And the little paste,
Was a big pantywaist.
BEWARE
Hear this story and beware,
There once was a mare,
Who I swear!
Passed air,
In the face of a bear.
And, oh dear, yes, BEWARE.
Souchong
Once in every so long,
A beautiful bogong,
Goes to Shillong,
And drinks souchong,
With a morwong,
All night long.
Anime
There once was a tokay,
Who went to Niamey,
And ran into anime,
The experience turned him gray.

Leave a commentBeowulf is an awesome poem, yeah. I really love the description of Herot the great hall. All I've heard of Idylls to the King is great praise. Haven't read that yet. But I have read Charge of the Light Brigade. I had goosebumps after reading that it was so provokingly beautiful.
lol. I’ve never even heard of any of those except for the Transformers. I have read Beowulf, I’m currently working on The Kings Idylls by Alfred Tennyson. And ya I’d really like to write an epic.
Ah yes, anime. The only real anime I have ever watched was Studio Ghibli, like Spirited Away and Mary and the Witch’s Flower. Maybe the old Transformers, if you count that. Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson are probably my favorite poets.
Ummm, I actually will have to get back to you on my favourite poets. But as for the words, I think you mean bogong, that would be a moth. Anime is a style of animation that is very popular in Japan/China. I’ve never actually watched anything that’s anime before (I will be though this Dec around Christmas, LOTR anime movie called War Of The Rohirim coming out then) but I know a girl who’s really into it and she talks about it a lot sometimes. And from what I’ve heard, at least what she watches, it’s rather weird in a creep you out way and also just kind of creepily inappropriate. So ya, very long explanation. lol
These are very funny. I think the only words I didn't understand were in the dugong portion. And maybe the anime one. Have you ever considered writing an epic poem? Like Beowulf or the Nibelungiad? I've wanted too but my poetry is terrible. Oh, and who is your favorite poet? Do you have a favorite poem from them? Thanks for another piece. I enjoyed it.
