What is the best "funny" poem that you have ever heard?

Answer 1

What a strange bird, the pelican.
Whose beak can hold more than his belly can.

and my favorite....

There one was a Puffin,
Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island
In the bright blue sea

He ate little fishes,
Which were most delicious,
And he had them for supper
And he had them for tea.

But this poor little puffin,
He couldn't play nothin',
For he hadn't anybody
To play with at all.

So he sat on his island,
And he cried for a while,
And he felt very lonely,
And he felt very small.

Then along came the fishes,
And they said, "If you wishes,
You can have us for playmates,
Instead of for tea"!

So they now play together,
In all sorts of weather,
And the Puffin eats pancakes
Like you and like me.

Answer 2

Funniest Poems Ever

Answer 3

I think this one is clever and hilarious. It was written by W. S. Gilbert, the same fellow who wrote the lyrics and dialog for all the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas (like "Pirates of Penzance," "The Mikado," "HMS Pinafore," etc.).

Apparently Gilbert didn't care for limericks particularly, so he wrote this anti-limerick:

There once was a man from St. Bees
Who was stung in the arm by a wasp.
When asked, "Does it hurt?"
He replied, "No, it doesn't.
I'm so glad it wasn't a hornet!"

Answer 5

Shel Silverstein wrote a book called Runny Babbit, and it's full of poems written kind of like pig latin, where the beginning sounds of two words are swapped
Bunny Rabbit --> Runny Babbit
They're all just silly children's poems, but when I read them outloud, I find it amusing to see myself tripping over the words.

She swallowed a cat to kill the spider
She swallowed the spider to kill the fly...
