Since I’ve written many funny poems for children, I decided I’m going to publish my very own funny poetry book for kids. It’s going to have a real nice bookcover, and loads of funny drawings and poems. (If my poems don’t get you, my pictures sure will
)
I’m planning to launch my poetry book, hopefully before Christmas. My poetry book is dedicated to kids aged 3 to 300, to make them happy and imaginative. Reading funny poetry has benefits (I’m gonna write a post about this later).
Oh, and back to where we were…the sneeeaaak peak.
Here is the picture for My Crazy Car:

Haha! A car jumps up with a very shocked driver…hehe.
Here’s the poem:
My Crazy Car
My crazy car is sure insane.
It hops around to make me pain.
When I am on it, it will wiggle
to make my friends and neighbors giggle.
It jumps and bounces up and down,
I feel sick when I ride through town.
When it shakes me in front of Wright,
he laughs at me; he’s not polite.
When I slap my car ‘cause it’s bad,
It zooms around, like it is mad.
I just cannot control my car,
I guess it controlled me, so far.
When I get into my mad car,
it spins around, for it’s bizarre.
Then, it will jump up really high.
The guys who see would say, “Oh my!”
My crazy car passed its disease.
It later was spread overseas.
And that’s why cars shake when they start.
Do you think cars are droll or smart?

Hope you like it!
See, the picture is quite funny too
. If you are wondering who drew it, it is the guy who was born in ____(10 x 100 + 1000 - 2). (Try to solve that, mathemen)
The text in my book would range from wavy to tipped, just about everything a kid likes to see. I am still unsure of the title of my book. It would be something like, ‘Funny Poetry For Kids’, or maybe ‘Read Funny Poetry to Laugh Your Frown Off!’. I’m still unsure. Comments on the title of my book are appreciated.
Of course, I don’t know to make the drawing 3D. I drew it on paper and used several programs to make the lines thick and used Adobe Photoshop to paint it.
Do you think it’s time to view another drawing? Of course…
And there’s the drawing for…If I Wrote Down a Poem:

Haha! Who would ever paint a millionaire’s house that fancy! But kids’ world is just full of imagination…which means trees could be blue and roads could be yellow…beyond reality.
Here’s the poem.
If I Wrote a Poem
If I wrote down a poem,
I would sell it away. Then,
I’d use the money for an egg
that soon becomes a hen.
The hen would lay a thousand eggs
that soon become more hens.
They then would lay a million eggs.
I’d sell them all to friends.
I would then be a millionaire
that owns a great big home.
I’d then go for a holiday
to France or maybe Rome.
I’d then become an astronaut
and go visit the moon.
I’m going to do all these things.
I’m gonna do them soon.
I would soon become very rich;
But now I think I might
as well stop dreaming of all these
until I’ve learned to write.

Hope you like it!
I put this poem in this post because my mother giggled at it and she rarely giggles at my poems. My mother also said that usually, millionaires dream to visit the moon.
Well, there is a lesson to that poem though, that is, do things step by step.
Poems may be boring for kids, but the funny ones are not, because kids are fun and playful, and not serious. Even adults would like to read my poems, because they need some fun, to balance their seriousness.
That’s all…for this post.
.
Wait! I’m just kidding
. There is still one last drawing to be shown…
And that is, of course…

I am a Leafy Green! Haha! Would you look at that, the surprised face…lol….Don’t recognize the foods? Read my poem then.
I am a Leafy Green
I am a leafy green, some grapes
and two quite large potatoes.
I am a carrot, and an onion,
and two red tomatoes.
I’m two big bunches of bananas,
slices of white bread.
I am a watermelon that’s just
as big as your head.
I’m two big oranges, two pears
which are delicious fruits.
I’m too, a yummy lotus –
not the flowers, just the roots.
I’m all of these delicious foods
because I’m what I eat
from my huge watermelon head
to my banana feet.

That was just a pun on the phrase, ‘You are what you eat, from your head to your feet’.
I am still unsure whether my book should have 40 or 30 poems. Comments on number of poems are appreciated. Comments on the title of my book are also appreciated.
Well, end of post.
Hope you enjoyed the snneeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak peak.
Update: The poem would appear on my drawing by which I have to use a program. I will post another post on my drawing after I’ve pasted the poem on my drawing.
