Pun Fun

If you were long-winded
but no pun in ten did,
do you lack humor’s art,
or was that a long fart?

Once a pun, a thyme, a sage
got tossed for smoking in a bar;
It seems bad jokes are not in season;
close, but no cigar.

A glutton for punishment -
Never sausage a thirst!
He grinned at the butcher,
Now, give me your wurst!
