Poems
A baby, pious, was born by aide
He named it Gaias, and felt like a jade
While he cried,
Cause mommy died.
His wife hired yet another maid.
Are you the one, the bride I try to find?
Still haven't met you, how can I make up my mind?
How am I to know? How am I to decide?
Waiting for the questions to get demystified
I know that I am patient; I know that I can wait
Not for ever though, it doesn't work out like that
I am sure it'll help me find some answers if we go out on a date.
Whether we wander wistful
whether we wander wise
we waltz wedding’s waltz; whenever
whatever weather
we’ll wriggle with wishful wives
Wind wispy willow
willy-nilly we’ll whirl
we’ll widdle we’ll weave; whenever
whatever weather
we'll waltz with wedding's wench
Well worthy we writers
who with words wrench

and the Beast
invite you to a fiendish feast.
Bring a present,
something fresh,
made of fish or fowl or flesh
from a unicorn as white
as the moon will be tonight.
We will dance
around the tomb,
of the Queen we will exhume,
who will marry us and then,
we'll lay her back to rest again
As we leave the cemetery,
Throw white lice
and wish us merry.
Reception afterwards will be...
on Haunted Hill,
"neath Hangman's Tree.
Y'all Come !

She wed a wealthy man named Harry.
Now, people call her greedy Mary.
It really isn't funny;
She married for his money.
Holy matri-monetary!
It’s been a funny summer, June
skipped into August and was gone.
How did we miss that afternoon?
It’s been a funny summer. June
just packed her bags. No honeymoon.
The whole production overdrawn,
it’s been one funny summer. June
skipped into August and is gone.
I see the blinking lights for the guest’s attraction
A lighting that is of an archaic fashion
But it is of significance to a wedding function
And these lights at the same time do frighten
For it is like they open their eyes to stun
And close their eyes to a contortion
They indeed are of different types and position
The lights with the blinking in a slow motion
The lights with the blinking in a rapid motion
For they possess an evocative expression
Arriving late, I find
the service almost done.
They're waiting at the altar,
the wiener and the bun.
All ears now strain, to hear
the parson's monolog,
"And by the powers vested in me,
I now pronounce you one hot dog."
On their wedding day

I wrote this while attending a wedding. This is serious! lol! The traditional or
classic Japanese senryu format has three lines: the first has
five syllables, second has seven syllables and the third five syllables. The
pattern is 5/7/5 for a total of seventeen syllables. The senryu is generally about
an emotional expression.
Overview
Funny wedding poems bring affectionate humor to a day already full of heightened emotion. They can loosen the room before a toast, give a reading a lively change of pace, or help a couple sound like themselves instead of overly formal. The best comic verse is generous: it laughs with the couple, not at them, and finds delight in recognizable details such as competing alarm clocks, shared snacks, questionable dancing, or the small negotiations of daily life.
Humor also works well beside sincerity. A playful opening can lead to a tender final line, allowing laughter to reveal rather than hide the depth of the promise. Keep the audience in mind, especially when mentioning old relationships, family stories, private jokes, or embarrassing moments. Clear rhythm, concise wording, and a well-timed surprise usually land better than a string of punchlines. Aim for warmth that the couple will still enjoy when they reread the poem years later.
Meaning and Symbolism
In wedding poetry, funny often symbolizes ease, trust, and the freedom to be unguarded with another person. Shared laughter can suggest a partnership able to hold both celebration and ordinary imperfection. A crooked cake, a forgotten key, or an argument about directions may become an emblem of patience when treated with affection.
Comedy can also balance the ceremony's gravity. It reminds listeners that commitment is lived not only through grand declarations, but through habits, mishaps, teasing, and repair. The symbolic heart of a funny wedding poem is not ridicule; it is recognition. By noticing the couple's quirks without diminishing either person, the poem says that love sees the whole human picture and chooses joy within it.
Wedding Poem Writing Ideas
Use humor that feels personal, kind, and easy for the whole room to follow.
- List affectionate contrasts: Pair the couple's different habits, tastes, or temperaments, then show how those differences make their life richer.
- Turn an ordinary detail into a refrain: Repeat a line about coffee, blankets, keys, pets, or cooking, changing its meaning slightly in each stanza.
- Build toward a gentle surprise: Begin with a serious-sounding promise and end with an unexpected but loving detail.
- Tell one compact story: Choose a harmless mishap that reveals teamwork, patience, or the ability to laugh together.
- Finish sincerely: Let the last line move from comedy to tenderness so the humor supports the commitment at the poem's heart.
Sample Wedding Poem Lines
We vowed to share a life, a home, and custody of the good pillow.
You bring the map; I’ll bring the confidence to read it upside down.
Our love has perfect timing, though neither of us owns a working clock.
May every burnt dinner come with laughter served generously on the side.
I choose your untidy mornings and your brave, improbable dance moves.
