I have an old friend who enjoys a good pun,
a play on words that's both humorous and fun.
I've known her for many years. Her name is Joan,
and it's rather fitting that her name rhymes with "groan".
Adolph Hitler was right
handed
wasn't sure about this one
but then its just a play on words
probably using the worlds most evil person
was a bit extreme
but you get the gist

A pun, a true play on words!
Shades of confusion . . .
Ditto sounds, other meanings . . .
Phonetic pun poetic!

I love a play on words with birds
The topic gives me wings
I’m also stirred by tax deferred
Each among my favorite things
What I like best is when you jest
Your smile lights up my day
My heartfelt quest is we both stay blessed
Forever and a day
Thoughts of death.
Life roulette.
Play with fire.
With ones desire.
Beyond the norm.
Not to conform.
Quiet, Talk.
Quick-witted, jabberwock.
Past, present.
future judgement.
Chained domain.
Free reign.
Love to hate.
Soul checkmate.
Listen to poem:
A long piece of string
is shorter when knotted.
Memories entwined, enraptured
are captured, confined
to remind in locket.
Held dangling over the heart,
on string tied behind
the neck, knotted

A Wordplay Poem
30 June 2021
You say you appreciate my imagination and play on words
this attitude of mine needs maintaining
as much as a sound needs to be heard
the opinion of what my work does fascinates me
so this poem's from me to you
a heartfelt thank you
with complete sincerity

The book keeper
mops the slush pile,
dusts paragraphs,
adding a vase of clarity
on the table of contents,
creates settings
for the ghost writer
to slow down
run-on sentences,
mends torn sheets -
Oh, tearsheets…
Anyway,
in the end
wraps a nice soft cover
around everything.

Rudolf was in his Tundra cave with his wife
He poked out his nose and said, its raining outside
She said, are you sure it is rain, it looks like snow from here
Certainly he said, Rudolf the Red knows rain dear
I have a very soaking nose
And if you ever asked me
I could even tell you when it snows
I live by the mouth
quick wit is my bullet
the trigger no doubt
my impulses pull it
You could say on the hole
it does me no good
but I haven’t control
would stop if I could
The day my mouth runs witless
I’ll stand a prat to witness
*hole - play on words, on the whole/ on my mouth hole
WILL THE REEL* TEDDY PLEASE STAND UP
John Alexander acts a Roosevelt - Teddy.
Bugle calls him up the stairs, steady.
With great veracity and a capacity to frame -
his character as a lunatic or a hero, just the same.

great play on words,
an phrases here Joe,
ears of clay, hear not,
as feet of clay support what,
false advertising in its way,
common in the media of today,
rachet jaw i hope i'm surely not,
just ancient mortal here it is my lot:)

Where a bargain is not a play on words;
I grip the cart eager to seek discounted goods,
Beautifully arranged on tin shelves.
Smiles around every corner;
Down every aisle a satisfied person.
A deal on every item, leaving the store by the bagful.
A much needed change of pace;
Weaving up and down the unforgettable
Joy that is the dollar store.
Must have had
A head like a seive!
What seems so mad
She'd take me l'd give
Now the sorry looking lad
Or perhaps a bit of a dive
One might say yeah a tad!
But don't see how you live
At times seems a little sad
As l have so much to give
Should l though be glad
Her l'm nolonger with?
Bits taken from so good just play on words

Shirley has a flea circus
She keeps in a bag she bought
She ties the bag shut real well
So escape for them is naught
A rendition of Hamlet
They would play for all the nerds
All on top of a scrabble board
She calls it, a play on words!
She had those small actor fleas
In that bag that she had got
So none of them could escape
When tied with a Shirley knot!
Just deny that you once had a member
You’re not gay and you are not transgender
Cos it comes from the top
that you’re in for the chop…
but you voted him in, do remember!
Inspired by the current news in the US today. The title is a play on words as I have read that at one time he was an ally of the gay and transgender community

April showers dampen flowers...
May has showers that will soon
dazzle flowers with great showers...
prelude to the month of June.
Happy flowers love their showers
that bring gifts for happy times
when with bouquets, pretty flowers
walk the isle as church bells chime.

If you are gay it's quite very clear
That sometimes you'll ***** if the same sex is here.
But don't get any fags...they're bad for your health.
Homosexuality has nothing to do with sickness, so go on help yourself!
(play on words gay: happy, *****: weird, fags for the English means cigarettes
let yourself out of the closet! be strong and do not hide)
There's a cow pie in the yard.
So what do you think?
Is it bull?
(Cow pie is American slang for cow dung & "bull" is the
abbreviated form of a vulgar word meaning something foolish
or useless. Anyway, it's a play on words that I hope translates
ok for the non native English speakers here)

two shoes lie mirrored
forgotten when spring cleaning -
the wake remembered
The use of 'lie' in line 1 is meant, a play on words to try and create a double image /
feeling depending on how it is read.
1. Two shoes laying side by side, a mirror reflection of each other
2. The shoes, just by their presence there imply that they are used, which as the reader
discovers later in the Haiku is in fact a lie.
Please Don’t Laugh
Today, I have a wonderful feeling
all I want to do is shout out loud in squealing
and write silly little quips randomly appealing.
Goofy writings, a play on words
and I don’t care if you heard
or feign pseudo interest in my blurbs.
Happy chuckles can really be a most difficult task
if in public view you fall and hear the laughs -
just ask someone who’s fallen on their ass.
