I need a poem with irony?

Question

For english we need to find a poem with irony and pun?

Answer 1

For irony:

Resume

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
-- Dorothy Parker

Answer 3

Pragmatist

Apocalypse soon
Coming our way
Ground zero at noon
Halve a nice day.

-- Edmund Conti

It's short, but I'd say that the last line not only has a pun, but also is ironic.

Answer 4

Just about anything by Dorothy Parker would be good, but "Richard Cory" by E.A. Robinson is the classic ironic poem.

Answer 5

My father had a favorite chair
we weren't allowed to use.
If ever we were near it,
he was sure to blow a fuse.

My father had a favorite chair.
"It's very old," he said.
"Perhaps I'll give it to you
in my will when I am dead."

Well, time passed by...

my father died...

and left the chair with me...

...and I sold it to my neighbor for a dollar fifty three.

I agree with the post about Dorothy Parker. She's been my favorite for years. Very witty. Good luck!
