Joking Poems - Poems about Joking

Jesting Joking Jovial and Jolly

Jesting without manifesting
Joking without spending or investing
Jovial and fair
Jolly times in the air
Living as I dare
Showing that I care

Words delight me, incite me,
Inspire and light me
Jesting, joking, jovial, and jolly
hickery dickery, dolly and holly
Jumping, twirling and swirling in my brain
If this were a song, I’d think up a refrain

no Joking

The Zionists are choking
the life out of humanity
history is repeating
total insanity
from the sea to the river
Palestine
will be forever
no matter how many bombs
on your knees you kiss

no joking


               a silly token 
    to try fix what’s not broken 
            in fact unspoken 
      ‘til the mirror has spoken

Serious About Being Serious

You look so serious
when I am not.
Why do I joke
while you do not?
Do we dislike each other?
If so, why do we share a table
and are able to sit,
have done for so long?
Yes, you seem so serious but
are masking a smile?
Are you so jolly but
concealing it,
looking so serious?
Or are you grave and solemn -
seriously serious -
while

Mental

Her husband sought to love her, soft and gentle
Even though her thoughts were completely mental

Laughter Is the Best Medicine

I know a creative soul named Jan
She births laughter - it’s surely her plan
Giggles must shadow her
Her wit creates a stir
She’s funnier than most any man

One In a Million

The chance of falling in love 
Maybe one in a million
To choose and to embark
On the last flight
Is fate
To stay is fate too
And
As solemn as a flight
Love is no U-turn journey
Love is no sudden-stop journey
The holy bell only ring once
And
Love is no joking after all

This Doesn'T Smell Like Roses

When I let one loose in the elevator
I felt my face blushing a deep red
Never been embarrassed any greater
It wasn’t long until the smell spread

People closest to me ran for cover
In the corners where they held their noses
It would take a while for them to recover
They knew for sure I didn’t smell like roses






When I

Just Joking Said a Star

You are all from a different galaxy sneered the moon.
I was not surprised, always suspecting I am a Martian.
But not Mars! He said, rolling his snake eyes at me.
I was intrigued, as he has never done that before.
Just joking, said a voice to my left. It was a star.

I wondered which planet I was from.
I

Puffing and Joking

'you will live to be...
one hundred years...and three months'...
said seer groucho marx...

(and why the three months...
your wide eyes ask so brightly...
so no sudden death...)

Joking

Jollity lifts spirits.
		Joshing’s great. Let’s hear it!
		Jocose friends who, with wit,
		jazz things up are a hit!
		Jabs can be unnerving;
		jibes can be self-serving.
		Jesting must be gentle.
