Short Humourous Poems

The Jockey tasted victory

In the last leg of the race
As the horse picked up her pace
And the favourite took first place
By the nose upon her face.

Would it be considered nefarious
If I call my poems ‘hilarious’
Our humour is subjective …
I write from MY perspective 
It’s a trait of my sign Aquarius!


I have never categorised any of my poems as ‘hilarious’ as what I consider is  humourous is a matter of opinion and often when I read ‘hilarious’ poems I don’t find them that amusing

The mystery of ‘the hole’,
is that it has no mass at all.
A thing that only can exist
through nothingness - that’s the twist!

A hole can be of any size,
yet of nothing does it comprise.
Nothing has no size at all,
no matter how big or small.

So what conclusion can we draw
from ‘the hole’ with this flaw?
That it’s simply just not there,
no matter how hard you stare!!...

Poetry a divine form
A specialised art known to few
Taking the world by storm
A few lines that into a stanza grew
The poet his life blood poured
Onto the pages of experience
The pen mightier than the sword
Was shown by brilliance
The deep thought provoking poetry
Or the funny and humourous lyrics
Are felt all through history
Whether sonnet, rhyme or acrostics
The genre of poetry for eternity
Is blessed with dignity...

Attention Mr Funny Man 
enlighten us clean pun,
Be the sport with thunder thought
Funny man be fun.

We're waiting on ridiculous...
gags and comedy,
The humourous and numerous 
jest and parody.

Be a fool and do it cool
with wacky be the dope,
Goosey-like, one not bright
C'mon tell a joke.

For we are girls that need some whirls and
happiness in being,
Win us all with comic sprawl
to chase you when your fleeing....

Nursery Rhyme

                       Jack and Jill to bring water bucket full
                       Baa Baa Black sheep to offer milk white wool.
                                            Stars to twinkle twinkle
                                            nodding periwinkle.
                              Humpty Dumpty from wall into pool.
