Funny Animal Poems
Here’s a collection of funny animal poems about our good friends with four legs, fur, fins, and even feathers. They are as funny to us as we are to them.
Let’s start with a couple of funny dog poems. The first one explores the admirable sleeping habits of our Golden Retriever.
| | Refreshed and Ready
By Tom Mulhern
My dog is faithful, loyal and true
She’s also well-rested, through and through
You see, she doesn’t have a great deal to do
So she sleeps all day, and all night too.

This next poem helps explain why we find the indolence noted above so endearing in our canine companions.
| | Welcome Home
By Tom Mulhern
Hot doggy breath and
Slobbers on the floor
But he’s always glad to see me
When I show up at my door.

You may be wondering “Where are the funny animal poems about cats?” Some people really like cats. Every now and then the cats may return the favor. But don’t count on it.
| | Refusing To Be Categorized
By Tom Mulhern
No two cats are quite the same
Some are wild and some are tame
Some are fat and some are thin
At least one had a Chesire grin
It seems feline personality
Favors individuality.

Fish are often touted as a simple, no-fuss pet. By those who don’t own any.
| | Fish Tale
By Tom Mulhern
Those who say fish
Are a low-maintenance pet
Have not tried to clean
The aquarium yet.

The next funny animal poems entry is a limerick based on a true situation. When reality TV starts using animals as stars, here’s a candidate.
| | Therapy Dog, Heal Thyself
By Tom Mulhern
There once was a dog trained for therapy
Who suffered from high anxiety
Without his family near
All others caused him fear
Which reduced his therapeutic utility.

I have nothing against birds. Except that they’re noisy, messy and obnoxious.
| | Unsweetly Singing
By Tom Mulhern
A cacophonous herd
Of squawking birds
Has settled into my tree
This noisy clutch
Talks way too much
And deposits excessive debris.

As the following poem demonstrates, we never know when we may be faced with life-and-death decisions with real practical consequences.
| | Bugged
By Tom Mulhern
Crawly bug there on the floor
Please let me shoo you out the door
I have no wish to squash you flat
My elevated consciousness won’t allow that
Besides, were I to stomp on you
Upon my shoe I’d have your goo.
