By:Art Hill Funny Love Poems When most people think of love poems, they think of serious and soulful expressions of passion. Long sonnets by Shakespeare or romantic poems by Browning and Lord Byron are the norm for love poetry. However, funny love poems can be good for a laugh. They may not be romantic, but they do give your friends something to enjoy. Some of the best funny love poems are limericks. Limericks started in Ireland and follow a standard form of five lines and a rhyme scheme of aabba. Here are a few limericks written by anonymous authors: There once was an old man of Lyme Who married three wives at a time When asked "Why a third?" He replied, "One's absurd! And bigamy, Sir, is a crime." There was a young fellow named Hammer Whose had an unfortunate stammer "The b-bane of my life" Said he, "Is m-m-my wife D-d-d-d-d-d-damn ‘er!" She made friends with a young undertaker; Her last boyfriend had forsaken her. But she started to curse When he turned up in a hearse. She said next time I’ll date a baker! There was a young lady named Constance, From boys she wouldn’t stand any nonsense. If her partners grew deft She would lead with her left; The results would not weigh on her conscience. My sweetheart and I are just wed. Already I wish I were dead. Two weeks she’s been spending. It was time never ending. We are thousands of pounds in the red! Limericks are fairly easy to write if you can rhyme well, so you might try writing a limerick yourself that includes the name of your friend or loved one. This is a good way to make a funny love poem that is personalized.
