Highgate's Lawson Wood
lovred to illustrate when he could
Posters&cards with much humour
imagined scenes in caricature
An artistic aardvark
living in a forest dark
very quickly did embark
upon a quest on an ark
Noah gave him name of Clark.
Julio Gonzalez innovative sculpture
used iron to be totally sure
Semi-abstracts on a grand scale
with brutal humour on sale
I'm not the greatest poet
Although I do have a couple of degrees.
One's for my sense of humour
The others for my honesty.
my old boss
- one of the boys
wrote an omnibus
on the bus
not the best
it was a bust
oh, my old boss
he turned to booze
There was a girl called Ruth
Who never told the truth
When I asked her why
She had to lie
She said my name's not Ruth!
Raymond Briggs of 'Snowman' fame
in childrens books he made his name
His illustrations were wordless
silent humour usp I'd guess
Epigram #50:
LIVING
Live happy quest
Love works the best
Watch humour jest

Live life with a sense of humour
life's only a temporary thing.
Start each day with a welcoming smile
and see what joy it brings.
We recently went to the zoo,
sadly there were animals few.
Until we all saw,
which caused an uproar,
giraffes in the café shop queue.
void inky black
the tranquil calm
disconcerting
we smile
humour alive
without mirrors

a sharp two-edge blade
cuts too quick for pound of flesh-
sly parry of wit
leaves assailant floundering
for razor sharp comeback slice
Epigram #72:
HUMOUR
I thought that pun funds jest,
But now I find wit words fest.

After many years
I came across an old friend—
He had aged so much
He didn’t even recognise me.

Revived Harry J Horsman 2011
I was just behind a sexpot
In a queue that stood to be shot
It takes skill to wheedle
When facing a needle
As long as whatever you've got!
The Moon yawns, I feel queasy
I yawn, Moon laughs yellow cheese
Ne'er Sun mocks at distraught me,
Just says 'you again'?
moist raccoon remnants
freshly murdered this morning
by a passing car
wild knows wild
a turkey buzzards sweet feast
tasty road kill stew
I can’t seem to find my wand,
without it this spell won’t bond!
I had it last night,
with those imps who bite.
I’ll summon help from beyond!
Epigram #80:
DRY
Look clearly and you will see:
Dry humour confronts me.

A page fell foul of the king
He played rude songs in a ring.
His bum was spanked red
Live frogs he got fed
He croaked each time he could sing.
Slapstick humour is ill refined
It will do when in a pinch

i made myself a t-shirt
on the front it says
I have a bomb
and on the back it says
bastic sense of humour
Even the bus driver offered me a seat
If there ain't no room for de poop
To make poets laugh on de Soup
Then humour has gone,
Flushed right down de john
Mixed up wit de natural gloop!
His
humour
could relate
to the childish
mind-
such
stories
unfolding-
old chapters of
life
he
bequeathed
to his kin-
a treasure of
fun.
Life's one big practical joke.
I'm standing on top of the world.
Laughter gets me through anything.
