Humorous poetry

[Polly62]

Does anyone know a website where I can find really, really funny poems suitale to read to a group of elderly ladies, all with a good sense of humour! Longer ones preferable. I used "There's nothing the matter with me" which went down very well. Thanks.

don't know about a website... Sure there must be books though. How old school am I?!

An example from http://www.poemsource.com/funny-poems.html ...

Golf Chat

Three old men on the golf course,
(Each had trouble hearing well)
Were playing a round on a breezy day,
When one blew over and fell.

"Windy, isn't it?" said one of them,
While helping the other to rise.
"No, it's Thursday," said the second man.
And they walked off to exercise.

The third man had listened intently;
Now he chimed in, with good cheer;
As he followed the others, he called out,
"So am I. Let's have a beer!"

Thnnk you for the answers - they are very helpful.
I shall use both the websites. Books aren't that easy to find - just the odd poem in some - I wanted a lot!
