Category: Funny Banter Poems
Classic humorous and funny poems in a playful, teasing, and good-natured way. VILLANELLE OF THINGS AMUSING  hese are the things that make me laugh--
Life's a preposterous farce, say I!
And I've missed of too many jokes by half.
The high-heeled antics of colt and calf,
The men who think they can act, and try--
These are the things that make me laugh.
The hard-boiled poses in photograph,
The groom still wearing his wedding tie--
And I've missed of too many jokes by half!
These are the bubbles I gayly quaff
With the rank conceit of the new-born fly--
These are the things that make me laugh!
For, Heaven help me! I needs must chaff,
And people will tickle me till I die--
And I've missed of too many jokes by half!
So write me down in my epitaph
As one too fond of his health to cry--
These are the things that make me laugh,
And I've missed of too many jokes by half!
Gelett Burgess.
