Some make you laugh out loud. Others make you roll your eyes. This punny poem comes by request from a Texas Standard listener.
Puns
(for @punspokenevents)
You think it’s easy?
Coming up with one right now
On the spot?
Yeah well it’s not like
Baking a pie
Oh wait, that’s not…
I mean it’s not as hard as
Writing a story!
Where you have to stare at the page
Until blood drips from your forehead
No wait,
That was just a Type O
Typo
Ah-ha!
There was one
Out of the blue!
A bright shiny-pun!
Sneaking through!
Perhaps that is the secret —
With puns
Just like all humor
You can’t try TOO hard
You have to be patient, and wait
You can’t force
A muse.
