(Note to my clannies: yes, there is a duplicate of this thread in our clan forum. You're not seeing things.)


I'm very fond of poems where the humour is derived from unusual spelling/pronunciation, such as the following:


A lively young damsel named Menzies
Inquired: "Do you know what this thenzies?"
Her aunt, with a gasp,
Replied: "It's a wasp,
And you're holding the end where the stenzies!"

Sue frowned and called me Mr
Because in sport I kr
And so for spite, that very night,
This Mr kr sr!

Does anyone recall any others?


I also like poems where the rhyme scheme implies a word that isn't said, usually because it's rude, although sometimes because the word actually supplied is meant to be unexpected. Can't think of any of those offhand, but examples would be appreciated.


Any other especially favourite humorous poems?

Aggressively? "Trying to engage with the community" is how I'd have put it. Is there a minimum period during which I'm expected not to talk yet? :)

I may be new to the HLF, but I'm not new to the rest of the RS forums, nor to forum interaction generally. "Don't be a jerk" usually covers it.

Thanks for the link. I'll see what it's got to say.

Alright, aggressively "engaging with the community". I was just trying to squeeze in a congratulations, welcome, and recommendation for active forumers in one post ;) but it wasn't recieved that way, hmm. Oh well.

Here are a few more verses contributed by my clannies:


There was a young lady named Bright
who traveled much faster than light.
She set out one day
in a relative way,
and came back the previous night.


A bather whose clothing was strewed
By winds that left her quite nude
Saw a man come along
And unless we are wrong
You expected this line to be lewd.


There was a young maid of Madras
Who had a remarkable ass.
Not rounded and pink,
as you probably think:
it was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.
