Humorous Poems 3

A further miscellany of humorous poetry by Paul Curtis, English author and Poet in Residence at Peculiar Poetry.

Un Angelic Angela

A rather brutal poem for a rather unfortunate lady. Its language conjures up a plethora of amusing images to give the impression of a voice quite beyond the control of its singer.

Changing Schools

Harks back to the 'good old days', when innocent mischief ruled, while damning the state of today's youth in a detached and whimsical manner.

Clean Sweep

Flies the flag for the forces of chaos and disorder, while turning conventional wisdom on its head.

Culture Vulture

A seemingly sincere poem which has a sting in the tail. By the end, you'll be wondering whether the poem's 'culture vulture' can't get enough of the arts, or whether he'd like to see them ripped to shreds!

Beware The Ides…

Warning: Understanding this poem requires a basic understanding of a Shakespeare and a tolerance of dodgy puns.

Harry, Larry And Barry

Even similarly-named friends have trouble communicating, it seems, in this affectionate lambasting of the elderly.

Mobile Communication

A rambling ode to the pointless bells and whistles that come customarily attached to what used to be a fairly straightforward device.

Money Can't Buy Happiness

A short poem that puts a new spin on a well-worn cliche.

One, Two, Three, Lift

Have you ever wondered why sound engineers behave in such an apparently non-sensical way? The author has a theory.

Crime Watch

An absurdist take on crime-prevention that is perhaps rather too optimistic about the power of the weather.
