Funny Rhyming Poems
Here are some funny rhyming poems which are not ashamed to make it rhyme every time. Actually, all of the poems on this site (so far, anyway) are presented in rhyming verses. If rhyming is your thing, you’ve come to the right place.
Just to show you can rhyme and still be an intellectual, let’s start with a poem about philosophy.
| | Philosophical Musingzzz
By Tom Mulhern
Kant and Descartes
Augustine and Aquinas
Socrates and Plato
Aristotle and Plotinus
Those who read philosophy
Are said to have thoughts deep
But when I try to do it
I simply fall asleep.

OK, maybe that one didn’t turn out quite as intellectual as promised. Funny rhyming poems can also boldly delve into that murky area where religious experience meets pop psychology, as in the following.
| | That’s A Big Help
By Tom Mulhern
The seeker lamented
“My vision’s obscured
Does this mean
that I am not fit?”
The guru replied
in tones self-assured
“You have to
believe it to see it.”

| | Former and Latter
By Tom Mulhern
Most of the time it doesn’t seem to matter
But I always mix up “former” and “latter.”
It’s not deductive, there’s nothing to show
And it’s not intuitive, you just have to know
Formerly I thought that more education this affliction might cure
Latterly (or is it formerly?) I’m not so sure.

The following poem offers rhythmical reassurance regarding a major health risk.
| | Bone Up
By Tom Mulhern
Bones slowly disintegrate
Before you know that it’s too late
So eat your calcium and vitamin D
But don’t worry about contagious proximity
For osteoporosis
Is not caught by osmosis.

| | Conversational Protocol
By Tom Mulhern
When someone asks “How are you?”
The last thing they want is an answer that’s true
Your aches and pains would cross the line
In a non-conversation that ends with “I’m fine”
