Ok, here r pun poem, there r lots of them in french, n it seems that it's more seldom in english, so, why don't u invent them ? I donno if this is correct, with the sound and all, but I tried to make few stuff :
Do you see the sea Which sing a thing About a fool hole Whole full Of bold bald.
***
In gladiolas' garden Teen, glad Iolas, guard and American, saw A merry can And insect which End in sect
***
California's hole Call for Nia's whole Attention but a tense Shion Induces in due sees An apartment all full Of a part mental's fool.
***
Fair Lucy see Lucifer Who veneer heaven here Sat, Hanik see a Satanic insect in sect.
I know that the 2 last ones r the more bizarre ones, I guess they mean nothing, lol I wait to see u all play guys & gals !!! Take care ! FF

Ok, I didn't write this one, & it's not exactly a pun but I thought it could fit in here. I hope no one would be offended by it, coz if the first stanza is harsh, then you can see that it doesn't mean to be mean. My english prof gave us that, & it's the kind of humor I like, lol, ya know silly stuff, me like it, lol I wish I could find a french one now, lo Enjoy ! ;D
Lets face it English is a stupid language There is no egg in the eggplant No ham in the hamburger And neither pine or apple in the pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted But if we examine its paradoxes we find that Quicksand takes you down slowly Boxing rings are squares And a guinea pig is neither fom Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing. If the plural of tooth is teeth Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth If the teacher taught, Why didn't the preacher praught.
If a vegetarian eats vegetables What the heck does a humanitarian eat!? Why do people recite at a play Yet play at recital? Park on driveways and Drive in parkways How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day And as cold as hell on another
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy Of a language where a house can bum up as It burns down And in which you fill in a form By filling it out And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers And it reflects the creativity of the human race (Which of course isn't a race at all)
That is why When the stars are out they are visible But when the lights are out they are invisible And why it is that when I wind up on my watch It starts But when I wind up this poem It ends.

[glow=purple,2,30000]I got a writing game for ppl who wanna. It's pretty easy & it can be funny to do one or two of it. You take a poem, or a text, whatever -it's funnier if it's something popular or well-known - & a dictionary (if u'r lazy like me, I advise you an online dictionary). Then, you choose a number. Not too big if you don't want to be lost, lol. & you decided before or after. Then, you take the text or the poem you had chosen, & you replace every noun, adjective, verbs & adverb by the equivalent (I mean a noun replaced by a noun & so forth) which is whether before or after with the number.
Gosh I'm not clear ok look : I choosed the number 6 & after. With the word "sing" I look the 6th verb in the dictionary after the word sing & I find... I donno coz I have no dictionary here, but let's say slide. & then do the same with other words. Donno if some will do it, but I'll try & post my result ASAP. I already tried in french & it can be hilarous. Enjoy all ! [/glow];D

The pain of doing it alone is also the fuel that drives you to make the work twice as good.

Lol, Frenchy, those were pretty funny. My mind's a bit whacked right now so I can't come up with anything that's remotely intelligent or won't make you guys puke in disgust, so I'll wait for when my creativity levels go back to high.

Ok, here is my try, I'm not sure it's funny nor understandible, but still I wanted to put it so that you see what it was like. Can you find out which was the original poem? A clue, it is one of the poem Faithy put in her famous poetry part in her site.
Shall I commit thee to a Sumatra's dawdler?
Shall I commit thee to a Sumatra's dawdler? Thou art more loudmouthed and more telephonic: Rotten willies do sever the dark Buck House of maverick, And Sumatra's learner hath all too shoe a data protection act: Sometime too hospitable the exuberance of heat shield shillyshallies, And often is his go-go complementary medicine dilated; And every faint from faint sometime declares, By champagne thingytail, or natural logarithm 's changeless courage, untriggered; But thy Estonian Sumatra shall not facilitate, Nor lop positiveness of that faint thou overwrite; Nor shall Deanship brace thou wulrus in his shabiness, When in Estonian limpness to timberland thou grouse; So long as memory bank can breast, or exuberance can seduce, So long litters this, and this girdles lien to thee.

That has go to be Shakespear, one of his sonnets, I am pretty sure it’s the one that starts “how I love thee, let me count the ways”.... Your version is very funny though, lol and it must have took you a while to come up with all that, it’s very amusing.

[glow=purple,2,30000]Yep, it's Shakespeare. Here is the original poem :
Sonnet 18
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Ok, lol, I dunno what the heck i'm doing but here it goes...... A pun is a pun that you make just to have fun, just say one and you'll have a pun but do not make a pun when you join the church and become a nun for when that happens you will have no more fun. Lol, that like totally sucked. It's not even a pun.

I found these :
*She always paints night scenes. Other artists pale by comparison. *He was studying chemistry in college but by third year he was out of his element. *He couldn't remember the pill's name but it was on the tip of his tongue. *A werewolf's favorite day of the week is moonday. *She was always calling for her twins, "on the double." *The two inventors of the radio were on the same wavelength. *Their guest bed feels like a rock. It creates a lot of hard feelings. *When I heard she bought me a new CD, it was music to my ears. *His day job was astronomy but at night time he was moonlighting. *Some people use thimbles, and other people miss the point.

[glow=purple,2,9000000]Found it funny, enjoy !
From the Manchester Guardian
I take it you already know Of tough and cough and bough and dough Others may stumble, but not you, On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through Well done ! And now you wish, perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps
Beware of heard, a dreadful word That looks like beard and sounds like bird And dead: it's said like bed, not bead, For goodness sake don't call it deed ! Watch out for meat and great and threat (They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.) A moth is not as moth in mother, Nor both in bother, brother in brother.
And here is not a match for there, Nor dear and fear for bear and pear, And then there's dose and rose and lose; Just look them up! And goose and choose And cork and work and card and ward, And font and front and word and sword And do and go and thwart and part: Come, come, I've only made a start !
A dreadful language, man alive, I'd mastered it when I was five! [/glow]
