Two Poems from our Funny Poetry Collection

 
 
TRADITIONS
   
Author: Jacinta Ramayah
   
Poem:
TRADITIONS
   
  Always in odd numbers, at the door they stand
You receive the wedding card in both your hands,
You’re invited next week, the whole family must attend,
Everyone will be there, to a ceremony so grand.

Have to look for gold earrings, bangles and choker,
A sari, and a blouse that fits with a matching colour,
Your success in life is assessed by your weight in gold,
The cost of the material too, plays an important role.

Ironing a five-metre cloth to wrap around your torso,
Is as tedious as getting it on, an hour before you go,
It wasn’t so bad years ago when one was svelte and slim,
The sari would cling so, like a second skin.

Now with inches added on, you’re a tragedy,
Like a band of steel round you, it’s a calamity,
Opting for a knee length shift with silk pants to match,
Before I leave, round the neck I tie a beautiful sash.

Entering the hall I’m happy in loose comfort and style,
Their stare tells me, I stand out like a mile,
“Why aren’t you in sari?” they hiss as they pass by,
“I’m a modern mummy,” I psst in reply.

Now, when the card arrives and we’re invited to go,
To the man of the house I say, “Please do so.”

Revenge on Santa
   
Author: Robert Miller
   
Poem: Revenge on Santa
   

You thought you were slick
jolly St. Nick
last year when you left coal for me,
but i'm ahead of you
and all that you do
just wait and you will see.

With you on the way
and your reindeer pulling sleigh
i went to my rooftop and removed the snow,
i dumped piles of sand
so you could'nt land
and would have no place to go.

And if you somehow found a way
that is okay
because there is more in store for you,
like when you start to shimmey down
the chimmney you found
and there's flames just shooting through.

If for some reason you last
and make it past
booby trap #2,
just like before
there will be more in store
in cookies i left for you.

Eat them for me
and you will soon see
the rest of your journey on a porclian seat,
then maybe you'll think twice
of who's naught or nice
and not leave coal as christmas treat.
