Short Funny Poems to Read and Share

Do you think you are funny? Do you want to be? Well! You should be, it is a great way to make people happy.

You might have heard somewhere that “Laughter is the best medicine.” I don’t know who said it first, but it is quite true.

Because laughter increases your fresh air intake, it stimulates your heart, lungs, and muscles. Your brain increases endorphins which strengthens your immune system.

That is why Mary Pettibone Pole says, “He who laughs, lasts.”

And what is the best way to tell jokes? Through poetry, of course, it’s a great way to engage people, and if it’s funny, spot on!

I know it is difficult to write, but not as much as you think. It will be daunting in the beginning but you will get a hang of them eventually.

The best way to start is by reading and understanding how others have done and how you can do it. 

So, I am writing some examples from some famous names so you can learn.

Funny poems for kids that make them chuckle

Kids laugh at anything. In the beginning when you do not have that much confidence to recite your poetry in front of adults, you can try it on kids. 

There laugh will inspire you more. 

You can also give them a moral lesson in your poems. Like patience, love, knowledge, etc. You can also write poems on friendship for kids.

"My Dog Likes to Disco" by Kenn Nesbitt

My dog likes to disco
on TikTok for fun.
He'd rather start dancing
than go for a run.

My dog loves the limelight.
He lives for the screen.
So now he’s a star on
the social machine.

"The Homework Machine" by Shel Silverstein

The Homework Machine, oh, the Homework Machine,
Most perfect contraption that’s ever been seen.
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds’ time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is—"nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me...
I guess it’s not as perfect
As I thought it would be.

Funny poems for friends to make your friendship stronger

Friends are meant to laugh and cry together. You should write poems for them too. 

You people know each other, so you can relate to a single situation you hit in your poems. It will make your friendship stronger than ever. 

You can use any kind of poem for this purpose but I think funny poems will be the best.

Baking Bonding

My friend once tried to bake a pie
But flour flew like birds in the sky!

The kitchen looked like a snowy day
With sugar ants joining in the fray.

He mixed the eggs with a sock on hand
Said “This is how the pros do it understand? ”
The oven beeped he jumped in fright
“Is it dinner or a fire? I can't tell tonight! ”

When we finally sat down to eat
The pie was more like a lumpy seat!

We laughed so hard we almost cried
Who knew a pie could take us for a ride?

The Nap Champion

My friend sleeps like a bear in a cave
With blankets piled high it’s a cozy wave.

He snores like a trumpet loud as can be
While dreams of pizza dance happily.

He sets five alarms they all go “beep-beep ”
But snoozes them all back into deep sleep.

He misses the sunrise the birds’ morning song
But oh how he claims he can nap all day long!

When asked for advice on how to unwind
He says “Just close your eyes and leave life behind! ”

So here’s to my friend the nap champion true
The world’s best sleeper—yes that’s definitely you!

Funny poems about life and its uncertainties

Life is quite funny. There are a lot of aspects you can use in your poems. 

Mostly people write elegy poems on it, like the sad ones. 

But I recommend using a different approach, doing funny poems on the serious situations of life.

A Silly Way to Live

Life is a pickle all squishy and green
Some days I’m a king some days I’m a queen.

I trip on my shoelace I spill my milkshake
Then laugh at the mess for goodness’ sake!

I wake up each morning hair wild like a bird
I search for my glasses but they’re gone how absurd!

I find them on my head oh what a surprise
Guess I’ll start wearing them as a fashion prize!

I dream of a world where socks never mismatch
Where ice cream for breakfast is always a catch.

But until that day comes I’ll stumble and play
Laughing at life in my own silly way!

Funny poems about nature

As I said earlier, you can write on any topic you want, from an animal like dogs to nature as a whole. It’s easy!

And if you find it difficult at any stage, you can always get help from the AI poem creator. You just have to provide a topic. 

Any topic! From a pen to a mountain, it will write a poem on it.

The Mischief of the Park

In the park a squirrel danced with glee
He stole my sandwich oh woe is me!

He twirled and leaped so full of cheer
While I just stared a sad hungry deer.

The flowers sneezed they made a fuss
The bees all buzzed "Don't make a fuss! "

They tickled petals oh what a sight
A pollen party from morning till night.

A frog in a pond wearing a crown
Said “I’m the king so don’t you frown! ”

But when he leapt he missed the log
And splashed himself—what a silly frog!

Funny poems for him and his ambitions

Talking about love, you have to define the different feelings of a man and a woman in the relationship.

They think differently, they have different ambitions, and they have different challenges. So why not write a separate poem for them. Here are the poems I wrote for him.

The Forgetful Hero

My hero’s a champ, but oh what a sight,
He forgets where he parked, then walks home at night.

With socks that don’t match and crumbs on his chin,
He saves the day, but can’t find his keys again!

Funny poems for her and her juggles

Women are always multitasking. They have to take care of kids, husband, parents, and the house. 

We have to celebrate their efforts. For this, you can use humor and make their moods lighter. You can see my efforts.

Juggling Queen

She’s the juggling queen, with balls in the air,
Tossing and spinning without a single care.

But oh, what a sight when they all start to fall,
She laughs it off, saying, “I’m still having a ball!”
