** Golf Chat **  Three old men on the golf course,   (Each had trouble hearing well)   Were playing a round on a breezy day,   When one blew over and fell. "Windy, isn't it?" said one of them,  While helping the other to rise. "No, it's Thursday," said the second man. And they walked off to exercise. The third man had listened intently;  Now he chimed in, with good cheer;   As he followed the others, he called out,   "So am I. Let's have a beer!" // By Joanna Fuchs //

 * We will make you laugh till you cry! **
 * Before we share some HILARIOUS poems, what is funny poetry? **
 * The purpose of funny poetry is to make people laugh and put a smile on your face! Some techniques used in funny poetry include: **
 * ** Rhyming-to add a rhythmic feel of the poem and help it flow **
 * ** Onomatopoeia- can add effect by imitating the sound of something **
 * ** Similes and metaphors-comparing one thing to another to make the poem more entertaining, eg instead of saying you are busy, you could say; you’re as busy as a bee. **
 * ** Odd plot lines - can be used to add humor to the situation, rather than something that is ordinary **
 * ** Adding humour to relatable situations- for example: Adding humour to the reality of aging: **

** Wolves and Liars **  My five year-old-son, he lies a lot,   And I wanted it to end,   So I told him about the boy who cried "wolf!"Hoping he would comprehend. "He kept crying 'wolf!' when there was no wolf,  "I told my son, whom I adore. "When the wolf came to eat him, he called for help,  But no one listened anymore   My son's eyes grew wide;It looked like he got it;   My heart was all aglow.   But he dashed my hopes when he nodded and said,   "I was eaten by a wolf once, you know."   // By Joanna Fuchs //
 * ** Writing about children- to find humour out of all the strange things that they do: **

** Yes! No! **  My turn signal wasn’t working,   So I asked for help from a friend. "Stand behind the car," I said. "Let’s get this problem to end." "When I turn the signal on,  If it’s working, let me know.   "I hit the blinker and then I heard:   "Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No!" // By Joanna Fuchs //
 * ** Real situation with a silly twist - There is added humour to a seemingly normal situation to make you laugh: **
