Special Types of Very Funny Poems
This page presents some very funny poems about conversational quirks (given that “very funny” is in the perception of the perceiver), as well as providing a connection to funny simile poems, funny limericks, and more.
First, let’s have a poem inspired by an over-used conversational starter.
| | How Has The World Been Treating You?
By Tom Mulhern
“How has the world been treating you?”
Very well, thank you, through and through
I’ve got air to breathe
And sun on my face
And gravity, so I don’t
Fly off into space
About the world’s treatment
I just can’t complain
It’s all the inhabitants
Who give me a pain.

The next poem identifies a universal truth about a habit of casual discussion that is entirely too widespread.
| | Conversational Peeve
By Tom Mulhern
“To make a long story short”
Is a phrase that I hate
By the time that it’s uttered
It’s already too late.

While we’re on the topic of contestable conversational conventions, consider the following.
| | May I Have A Better Story, Please?
By Tom Mulhern
Why is it that when people say
“That’s the story of my life”
The plotline they refer to
Is one with problems rife?
Of money that is not enough
Or relationships gone sour
Too many “just a minute”s
That turned into an hour
When the story of life should be
Uplifting and inspired
Or at least a tale that makes us feel
Something more than tired.

OK, let’s give the conversational rant a rest. A number of very funny poems scattered throughout this site have been inspired by visits to the doctor’s office, including the following.
| | Don’t Let The Slick Pages Fool You
By Tom Mulhern
It’s called a “doctor’s office” but it’s pretty plain to see
There’s more than just a doctor waiting there for me
I don’t mean the nurses and receptionists and such
It’s those well-thumbed magazines that I’m afraid to touch
Glossy pages harboring infection and disease
Left by other patients makes me ill at ease
I don’t think I’m phobic or excessively hygienic
I’m just a bit reluctant to catch something iatrogenic.

Note: iatrogenic = illness caused by physicians, hospitals, drugs, medical procedures, or waiting-room magazines.
