Best Silliness Poems

An army of mites reside in our lashes
With mouths and tiny claws
Along the road to human evolution
This was surely a major flaw

Astronauts strangely can't burp in space
What useless dribble is that
Felines can have over one hundred kittens
Now that's one pooped out cat

Some atheists put up...

Homey eyes of peasant stew
A cozy-colored mossy mew
Stony cottage, snowcheeks bleu
The forest fins for frosted fruits.

The warmest thought speaks crumbly bread
A partridge purr puffs through my head
That grants the grunkest grue a ‘Get!’
To packrat out the paquerettes.

Don’t see the speech I say with sneer
As something...

Looked outside and a
Lavender rhinoceros
Was staring at me

Some call me loopy
That's a compliment to me
Silly people rock

Every time I sneeze
I piddle in me trousers
And poop my knickers

I dress like a bum
Cause I don't care anymore
I'm retired now

Hugging can lead to
Something other than friendship
An enlarged belly

Men...

Seems like I'm stuck in this silliness genre
A goofy kind of genre to be in, oh momma
Can't break the spell
Stuck good, oh well
Maybe I should just start smoking marijuana

My 'sillyness' hat is atop my head
As I begin this September day
Who knows where this weird mind of mine
Will take me, who's to say

Could go where no man's tread before
To the outer limits of comedy
On second thought, that's probably not it
Sylvester the Cat is my...

Well...I wanted to do something silly as I did,
     In writing a poem for this bid.

     It took but a TINY HERCULEAN try,
     All the while, I'm asking "Why?"

    ...

Comedy's just a funny way of saying something serious
See what I mean, bet you've become absolutely delirious
Should practice each night
Till you too get it right
Soon be having a blast with a career in silliness...

I think the French and Greek have the most beautiful expression for the word "wife" in their languages: Ma Femme (French) and Gynaika Mou (Greek), which when translated to English resonate with a cave man ring…yea….MY WOMAN!!!! MY WOMAN.....Can you hear Tarzan bellowing that Ahaahhhhh...AHA...

How about this bit of logic, my friend
If people from Poland are called Poles
What would you call people from Holland?
Methinks you could call them Holes

When taking a picture of a piece of cheese
What word would you ask it to say?
Okay, I'm aware that cheese doesn't...

Yakety Yak. here comes Jack
With his silly nonsense galore
My goal is to cause you to chuckle out loud
Till you fall face first on the floor

People just love to giggle with laughter
Life's so much easier to take
Seeing the happiness on everyone's face
Is reward for the difference...

An idiot driver cut in front of me on the freeway
Just because they did not get the big picture 
I have to slam on my brakes?
Could I let it slide?
Apparently not.
I threw my hands up like “what the heck?”
She gave me the bird.
I gave her...

Doggerel I or Nonsense Verse

A$$tronomical
by Michael R. Burch

Einstein, the frizzy-haired,
proved E equals MC squared.
Thus, all mass decreases
as activity ceases?
Not my mass, my a$$ declared!



Bible Libel
by Michael R. Burch

If God
is good,
half the Bible
is libel.

I came up with this epigram after reading the Bible from cover to...

Doggerel II: Doggerel about Doggerel, or, More Nonsense Verse

The Board
by Michael R. Burch

Accessible rhyme is never good.
The penalty is understood:
soft titters from dark board rooms where
the businessmen paste on their hair
and, Walter Mitties, woo the Muse
with reprimands of Dr. Seuss.

The best book of the age...

Don’t Forsake Me
An interview with a dying tree.

Annie Willow entered my office,
It surprised all of us.

At first glance,
You might think she had no chance.

I inquired to what she would bring,
Something to add, something with zing.

Her wilted leaves and branches,
Just cleared our expansions.

She spoke clear and...
