What follows are some favourite ones!
My funeral? NOT an A.M. spot,
A mourning person, I am not!
A balance check, of me, required…
I pushed him over—now I’m fired!
A thief stole all the precinct’s johns,
Police have nothing to go on.
My kleptomania hurts a bit,
But now I take
something for it.
Boiling water, RIP,
You will be mist, we all agree.
The restaurant, Karma, strikes a nerve,
No menu. Get what you deserve!
The word ‘many’, explained when sought?
I’m grateful. Know it means a lot.
I took a pole. Know what I found?
All campers grouse when
tents fall down.
My dog ate coins. “Wait,” said the Vet,
I’m waiting, but there’s no change yet.
Zero’s author – on behalf of banks,
We salute you. For nothing, thanks.
A man lost his left side. Oh, wow!
Not to fret--he’s all right now.
Cartoonist was found dead. Poor guy!
Details are sketchy, please stand by.
The silkworm race? Well by and by,
It ended in
a total tie.
High-voltage fence around my house?
My neighbor’s dead against it. Louse!
A new mechanic. Here’s the scoop…
They’re a highly wreck-a-mended group.
A hippo’s a really heavy blighter,
And a Zippo is a little lighter.
A clown, he held my door just yester-
Day. It was a lovely jester.
An ad for burial plots. Agreed,
It is the last thing that I need.
And there you have it, that's the lot
I've finished doing what I ought,
But please, before this day is through,
I'd love to hear some puns from you!

With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
Topics for the next few weeks (with a huge thank-you to Mimi, who comes up with so many of them!)...
