Some poems that include puns is the poem "My mother took me to the mall"
My mother took me to the mall
to visit Old Saint Nick.
She wanted me upon his knee
to snap our yearly pic.
We do it every Christmas but,
this year, I changed my mind.
I thought I’d like a photo
of a slightly different kind.
I didn’t sit on Santa’s lap
or climb up on his chair
despite the fact that Santa was
the reason we were there.
Instead, I grabbed my mother’s phone
and ran up to an elf
and snapped a photograph
with Santa’s helper and myself.
My mother looked confused
but I just grinned from ear to ear
and said, “I took an elfie
for my Christmas pic this year.”
Another poem that includes puns is the poem "I Think My Dad Is Dracula"
I think my dad is Dracula.
I know that sounds insane,
but listen for a moment and
allow me to explain.
We don’t live in a castle,
and we never sleep in caves.
But, still, there’s something weird
about the way my dad behaves.
I never see him go out
in the daytime when it’s light.
He sleeps all day till evening,
then he leaves the house at night.
He comes home in the morning
saying, “Man, I’m really dead!”
He kisses us goodnight, and then
by sunrise he’s in bed.
My mom heard my suspicion
and she said, “You’re not too swift.
Your father’s not a vampire.
He just works the graveyard shift.”
