I am a fond proponent of good, clean humor, and I also love poetry (or couldn't you tell?), and the two combined is a special treat. Alas, I have found that I have very little luck in writing such myself, as so for a smile today, I thought I would share the work of a man more talented in that department.
Some of my favorite funny poems are epigrams; they are short, to the point, and often evoke, if not outright laughter, at least a chuckle. This one is called "A Reply." Enjoy!
Sir, I admit your general rule
that every poet is a fool;
but you yourself may serve to show it,
that every fool is not a poet.
