Title: Poet Tree
Post by: taco_harvell on April 18, 2010, 11:16:43 PM
Poet Tree

A pun is the lowest form of wit,
It does not tax the brain a bit;
One merely takes a word that's plain
And picks one out that sounds the same.

Perhaps some letter may be changed
Or others slightly disarranged.
This to the meaning gives a twist,
Which much delights the humorist.

A sample now may help to show
The way a good pun ought to go:

It isn't the cough that carries you off,
It's the coffin they carry you off in."

My family is quite a pun-loving family.  One of my cousins once told us we needed to find hobbies because we played with words too much.

I'll find myself making up the SILLIEST puns, especially late at night.

My dad liked spoonerisms.  He called the Beverly Hillbillies, the Beverly billhillies so often that I really had to stop and think before saying it.
