I assume were meant to post our own funny poems then.
Well I'm not very good at things like that, so instead I shall share a ready made one with you. It's a personal favourite of mine.
It's a bit long, but your thread title does say funny poems, so I shall take advantage of that.
"It's called the 11:69 express and was written by Ronald Bagnall and William S. Robinson in 1906. It's about a train crash, with a sense of humour, well if you have that sort of mindset, the writters sure did.
You'll want a railway story while you wait for the London train,
It's a story I've never told yet, so I'll tell it to you again.
I was only a guard at the time, sir, on the London and Smash'em line,
But I shan't forget the mishap to the eleven sixty-nine.
'Twas a terrible foggy night, sir, and a day I shan't forget.
The fog was a kind of Scotch mist sir, and the train was somehow wet!
When all of a sudden I heard, sir, the sound of a mighty crash.
I busied myself with the injured and helped myself to their cash.
For the coaches were all of a heap, sir, though why I cannot tell.
And the passengers lying around us were none of 'em looking well.
They slept their last sleep on the sleepers, we could hear the sleepers snore.
It's a sight I've never seen, sir, and shall never see before.
For the line was a mass of hats, sir, and blouses all over the place
Whilst one of the passengers' noses was in the middle of his face.
I saw a sweet young lady in a mashed potato state,
And her final words were, 'Doctor! Is my hat on straight?'
We stumbled across the driver, and I thought that he was dead;
For his body and legs were missing and we couldn't find his head.
Then the two of us lifted the engine and placed it on the line...
But here's your late train early sir, the eleven sixty nine.
