Parody Poems
#parody
Parody poems, amusing poetry using exaggeration, or caricature, for comic effect. Parody poems intentionally imitate a style or situation, creating humor through exaggeration, to ridicule the subject matter.
Much Ado......
Just thinking about language
And colloquial variations
So....
Would a 'northern' version
Of newt
Be nowt?
There's no bout adoubt it
And how is no sense
The same as nonsense
Only different?
And can you ride tandem?
These questions, and more
Are much ado about nothing
Or
Much ado about nowt
Or should that therefore
Be newt?

A Valuable Lesson
So I was at the public library here in town the other day. I live in a very small town by the way. Just returning some books my kids had borrowed. Nothing to make a big deal about you’d think.
After putting the books on the return desk, I decided to go over to the autobiography section just to take a gander. I start looking for musicians in particular. Ones I don’t have or haven’t read.
Off on the other side of the library there was a group having a meeting. It’s audible what they’re saying, but it’s by no means yelling at the top of their lungs. It sounds...

That They're There
Me, and my ears
Have 'special' relationship
In as much, as weve agreed
That i don't look at them
And likewise
They've agreed
Not to look at me!
They justb lurk there
Beneath my hair
So i'm left knowing
That they're there
Always
Listening to my every word!
Not only walls have ears
So do heads!

Miss A Little!
Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Doesn't actually do any riding
And the big bad wolf
Has gone into hiding
As he'd heard, that he was to be axed
From this particular performance
Due to cuts
And is to be replaced by a buck-toothed bunny
"What big teeth you have!" said the hood
"All the better to gnaw you with........!"
So off to the deep dark woods
Off the beaten tracks
Meanwhile......
Little Miss Red Hood (no riding!)
Little Miss Red (no hood, in the wood!)
Little Miss (no red!)
Miss (no longer...

Moon Madness!
I tried
To toast
The Wolf full moon
The other night
Goblet of mead in hand
But
No matter
How hard i tried
The moon simply
Would not fit
Into my toaster
So i had crumpet instead!

Going Batty
There's an antique bat
In my attic
So i call it my battic
Not to be confused with batique
Which would be more unique
Although i could have
An antique batique bat in my attic
Although the bat, is on my black velvet hat
No attics actually involved
And the bat on my hat
Is not actually antique
So the bat is on the belfry
A belfry without bells
Thus a bell free belfry
A belle in the bell free belfry
Sounds like Esmerelda being summoned
"The belles! the belles!
Quasis mo jo
Not appealing
No end to...

The Parallel Pixie
I was twirling my pen around, inbetween my fingers
Trying to think of what i should write about next
(Not realising that my act of pen twirling
Was equivalent to rubbing a genies lamp!)
When a pixie-like entity entered my room
Saying "I can grant you one wish!"
"Only one!" i said "I was expecting three!"
(In reality, i wasn't expecting ever to be granted a wish!)
"You're right" said the pixie genie person (do pixies have pronouns?)
She continued....."But we've had to make
Some very painful...

Reincarnation
Ive reincarnated loads of times!
Everytime i moved town
Ive started a new life
With new, and sometimes
Profound consequences
Now all, are ghost towns
Losts in the mists
Of long forgotten memories
For now i have found
My final carnation (like tinned milk)
A bit disappointed really
I was hoping for better
But i have no manufacturers warranty
So i'll have to settle for being THIS!!!

I Nose My Prose!
Words flow from me
Like a runny nose
Fluid inspiration
Like nasal condensation
However: a blocked nose
Is no good for prose
It all goes skew-whiff
If you can't even sniff
And if one sneezes
Words flow quickly on the breezes
Scattered, wild, and untamed
Passions now contagious, and inflamed
I'll follow my instincts, and not my nose
Where this will take me, nobody knows
So i'll have a quick snifter, not a sniff
Liquid inspiration, as i fall off a cliff
My instincts proved, thus to be wrong ...

Iron Defficient
I quite enjoy irony
But i find
That it's ironing
That leaves
A deeper, longer lasting
Impression!
