Download or read book Seriously Funny written by Barbara Hamby and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can serious poetry be funny? Chaucer and Shakespeare would say yes, and so do the authors of these 187 poems that address timeless concerns but that also include comic elements. Beginning with the Beats and the New York School and continuing with both marquee-name poets and newcomers, Seriously Funny ranges from poems that are capsized by their own tomfoolery to those that glow with quiet wit to ones in which a laugh erupts in the midst of terrible darkness. Most of the selections were made in the editors' battered compact car, otherwise known as the Seriously Funny Mobile Unit. During the two years in which Barbara Hamby and David Kirby made their choices, they'd set out with a couple of boxes of books in the back seat, and whoever wasn't driving read to the other. When they found that a poem made both of them think but laugh as well, they earmarked it. Readers will find a true generosity in these poems, an eagerness to share ideas and emotions and also to entertain. The singer Ali Farka Tour said that honey is never good when it's only in one mouth, and the editors of Seriously Funny hope its readers find much to share with others.
Download or read book Very Bad Poetry written by Kathryn Petras and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1997-03-25 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing very bad poetry requires talent. It helps to have a wooden ear for words, a penchant for sinking into a mire of sentimentality, and an enviable confidence that allows one to write despite absolutely appalling incompetence. The 131 poems collected in this first-of-its-kind anthology are so glaringly awful that they embody a kind of genius. From Fred Emerson Brooks' "The Stuttering Lover" to Matthew Green's "The Spleen" to Georgia Bailey Parrington's misguided "An Elegy to a Dissected Puppy", they mangle meter, run rampant over rhyme, and bludgeon us into insensibility with their grandiosity, anticlimax, and malapropism. Guaranteed to move even the most stoic reader to tears (of laughter), Very Bad Poetry is sure to become a favorite of the poetically inclined (and disinclined).

Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be." Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way.

Download or read book Tickle My Fancy written by James Taris and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is jam-packed with funny songs and poems. It is full of fun. And the 'rude but not crude' poems will keep you laughing as well. Written over 32 years, you will find lots of humorous subjects covered within these 'yellow pages'. Today, stress takes a heavy toll in the loss of health and the loss of lives. Therefore, the old adage, "laughter is the best medicine", applies now more than it ever has before. James Taris wrote these funny poems when he was in a happy or silly mood ... and when he had a particularly funny story to tell. They always put a smile on his face, and they still do. James believes that happiness is the key to longevity. He is convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt that living a long life has more to do with being happy than it has to do with eating the right foods or exercising on a regular basis. Diet and exercise will keep you fit and healthy, but with the absence of happiness it leaves you vulnerable to the modern 20th and 21st century illnesses. So, watching an endless run of Laurel and Hardy, or Marx Bros. movies, isn't such a silly idea after all. If it puts a smile on your face, then you should just do it! And if you want to read some funny poems ... try these. Written in chronological order (newest to oldest) you can see how James' sense of humour has developed (or not) over a generation. The autobiographical stories accompanying each poem add additional information to help the reader enjoy and understand each poem much better.Over fifty years ago, I wrote my first song called How Does De Do. Looking at it now, I can see how unbelievably bad it was. Yet back in 1968 when I was just thirteen, it was my greatest treasure. Such is the value we place on our creations.I had never set a goal to become a poet or songwriter. My writing was always for my pleasure and amusement. On many occasions, I also used my writing for self-therapy. During my years of depression from 1972-1973, I found my poems to be extremely therapeutic.Whereas girls find it quite easy to share their feelings with their close friends, guys tend to keep their feelings bottled up. My writing was my outlet. It allowed me to externalise my feelings so I could better understand and cope with them.Fortunately, in 1974 I was introduced to positive thinking and immediately my writing took a sharp turn towards hope and ambition.This anthology of poems is my way of preserving not only my works but also my life history; growing up from a young thirteen-year-old-teenager, to a mature man with a plethora of life experience.Over 40 years, from 1968 to 2008, I wrote nearly 200 songs and poems.
