Because who said poetry has to be so serious?
Not sure if any of the below will crack you up but I was just in one of those moods, ya know. Prepare to be mildly entertained, if I'm lucky:
Two haikus
Unforgettable.
Kissed by the sun, skin so hot .
Melting popsicles.
- California Girls
No privacy here.
Somebody is watching me.
Is it just a dream?
- No, it's Michael Jackson!
i asked
him
'what's cooler
than being
cool?'
he shouts
a million voices
at me
i can't
hear him.
i ask
again
'what's cooler
than being
cool?'
he speaks
a thousand voices
and then
I suddenly hear him:
'ice cold'
- alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright
Me: Leaning Tower of Pisa
You: Leaning Tower of Pizza
A dyslexic: the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side
The guy on the toilet: That's a Leaning Tower of Pisa, you idiot!
- confusion
Oh my
God
It's happening
Everybody stay
Calm
Everybody stay
Calm
STAY FUCKING CALM!
Everybody calm
The fuck
Down!
- what's the procedure?
Please share your creations, or write some if you have any ideas! I would love to read them.
Speaking of JCC above, here’s another by Luke Wright who often opens for John on tour.
Im a fan of “On Girls Lending Pens” and “The The Impotence of Proofreading” by Taylor Mali.

"Is it just a dream?
No, it's Micheal Jackson!" LOL😂😂
And the last lines (STAY FUCKING CALM) remind me of The Office. I hear Steve Carell's voice, i swear.😂
Not sure it's roll on the floor laughing but during my Jack Kerouac infused days and I was writing spontaneous prose as he called it:
Fee fop fadoodle
Where the fucks my poodle
Oh wait I don't have one
Spontaneous prose,
what a kick.
But moving on SWIFTLY
JCC can always be relied upon for a rhyming chuckle:
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner Breathing in your dust I wanna be your Ford Cortina I will never rust If you like your coffee hot Let me be your coffee pot You call the shots I wanna be yours
I wanna be your raincoat For those frequent rainy days I wanna be your dreamboat When you want to sail away Let me be your teddy bear Take me with you anywhere I don’t care I wanna be yours
I wanna be your electric meter I will not run out I wanna be the electric heater You’ll get cold without I wanna be your setting lotion Hold your hair in deep devotion Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean That’s how deep is my devotion
Hi Shen, the following poem was written by my late uncle Alan Pengelly.
He was a funny poet and man and inspired me to write. He was from the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, so imagine a broad Welsh accent when ready please 😀 😍 😄
The Kitchen Floor
Mam went down on hands and knees To scrub the kitchen floor Dad said "what you doing Bet? You've not done that before Mam said, what do you mean You aggravating swine, I always clean the kitchen floor Whenever I have the time Dad said we must be having visitors And they must be someone posh Everything is put away And all the kids are washed When mam got up from off the floor I thought she'd throw the water But she went and grabbed a kitchen knife To make my father shorter He didn't scream or run away But stood there,with a grin Mam said "I can take no more of this I'll bloody swing for him Then a knock came at the door And Mam, put down the knife Thank God for Elsie Perkins She saved my father's life!
