John Watt Poet Monoku

Notes About The Poem

Rhyme and Pun Ishment

i would love to have the chance to ask the dog star      are you Sirius?

John Tirious won't tell people his daughter's name      it's Miss Tirious

if i were fuzzy wuzzy and lost all my hair     i'd be furrious

when songwriters erase      are they "decomposing" or "delyrious"?


[i should know better than to dabble in such puns, after all i am a groan man]

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2022 at 6:06 AM You are a groan man. I want to use this now, but it would feel like stealing! John Watt May 2, 2022 at 9:38 AM Steal away, my friend. I too have been known to 'borrow liberally'.

Andrea Dietrich March 3, 2022 at 12:31 PM hey, by the way. Were these your OWN? If so, really good work there. John Watt March 3, 2022 at 1:52 PM Yes, unlike the Monday monokus I used to do, these were all original. Thank you, Andrea.

Gershon Wolf February 22, 2022 at 6:01 PM So, you are a 'groan man,' eh?! OK, John. I'm almost out of money, you know. Please leave me alone. About 100K will cover basic expenses for a week. You know, alimony, child support, and overpriced devices for my spoiled children. Cheers, gw John Watt February 22, 2022 at 10:04 PM LOL, Gershon. Do you take check, charge, or money order? See you in the funny papers ~ jw
