Let me call you sweetheart,
I’m in love with you.
Let me call you Snookums,
Toots, and Poopsie too.
Some ask why I’m allowing these funny poems to roam the internet at will, and the answer is simple. Like all good poems, they need an audience…and we’re glad you’ve applied for the job! So buckle up, enjoy the ride, and sample funny poems that range from silly to smart alecky, from tender to tongue-in-cheek. You’re sure to find something you like and go home with a smile. Need something funny for children specifically? Try the Children’s Poems category.(Just request permission by email and include full copyright information on all copies. For internet use, please link back to the poem on this site.)
FINDING THE POEM YOU WANT: As you scroll through this section, simply read each snippet sample (usually the first four lines) to get a feel for the poem. When you find something you like, click “CONTINUE READING” to view the entire poem.
Let me call you sweetheart,
I’m in love with you.
Let me call you Snookums,
Toots, and Poopsie too.
If I don’t really have
some terrible
disease
and shouldn’t really be
laying
flat on my back
then
I’m a terminal
hypochondriac
I almost divorced my body
a couple of years ago.
Certainly, we were separated.
Irreconcilable differences.
Just for a change I’d like to make
a change this very day–
I’d like to do the things that all
those mothering books say.
