Poetry
  • Humor Poetry

9
Humor
  • Humor in poetry can arise from a number of
    sources
  • Surprise
  • Exaggeration
  • Bringing together of unrelated things
  • Most funny poems have two things in common
  • Rhythm
  • Rhyme

10
Rhythm Rhyme
  • Using more spirited language makes humorous
    situations even more humorous
  • The Porcupine
  • By Ogden Nash
  • Any hound a porcupine nudges
  • Cant be blamed for harboring grudges.
  • I know one hound that laughed all winter
  • At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.

11
If you take away the rhythm and rhyme, the humor
vanishes.
  • Any hound that touches a porcupine
  • Cant be blamed for holding a grudge
  • I know one hound that laughed all winter long
  • At a porcupine that sat on a piece of wood

12
Lewis Carroll1832-1898
  • Born in England
  • Wrote Alices Adventures in Wonderland
  • Wrote Through the Looking Glass
  • His life was quiet and uneventful, but in works
    like Father William, he found escape from his
    serious work into a delightfully zany,
    topsy-turvy world that still amuses children old
    and young.

13
Father WilliamPage 400
  • In this poem, a young man questions his father
    about some rather unusual behavior.
  • Have you ever asked someone what they were doing
    and received an explanation that made very little
    sense at all?

14

  • A limerick is a poem of five lines
  • The first, second, and fifth lines have three
    rhythmic beats and rhyme with one another.
  • The third and fourth lines have two beats and
    rhyme with one another.
  • They are always light-hearted, humorous poems.

15
Limericks
  • There once was a man with no hair.
  • He gave everyone quite a scare.
  • He got some Rogaine,
  • Grew out a mane,
  • And now he resembles a bear!

16
Limerick About a Bee
  • I wish that my room had a floor,
  • I dont care so much for a door.
  • But this walking around
  • Without touching the ground
  • Is getting to be quite a bore.

17
Another Limerick
  • There once was a very small mouse
  • Who lived in a very small house,
  • The oceans spray
  • Washed it away,
  • All that was left was her blouse!

18
