PAD Challenge, Day 12 prompt: write a funny poem. Keep in mind that funny isn't always "ha-ha" funny. For instance, your poem could include a funny smell or talk about a funny (or weird) person or situation. And if you've ever hit your funny bone, that pain is not making anyone laugh. So write a funny poem, whether it's for a laugh or not.
I wrote this inscription in a gift for an elderly gentleman this Christmas. As you can see in the image, I wrote it in a book of Dad Jokes. Due to a lack of time, I am using the inscription for today's poem.
A Christmas Inscription
"A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones" (Proverbs 17:22).
My Dear Fellow,
I hope you like these light and punny jokes
Made for both great and ordinary blokes,
But be prepared, for laughter they provoke,
And if you tell them, give all: go for broke!
Now some may groan and roll their solemn eyes,
While others laugh until they split their sides,
But all will have some fun while peace abides,
And that's why wholesome humor's always wise.
And so, please take this book up without fear,
May it bring you merry Christmas cheer,
With wholesome laughter all throughout the year,
And please keep me in thoughts and prayers so near.
From,
A Fellow Gentleman
