Eletelephony
Laura Elizabeth Richard
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant—
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone—
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee—
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)
This children's poem will certainly not be irrelephant in your household as your kids will be giggling for days. Make them laugh even more with these silly puns for kids.

The Crocodile
Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
You may know Lewis Carroll as the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but you may not have known that he is truly a master of quirky poems. Although the story of Alice falling down the rabbit hole may be a bit advanced for your little ones, get them reading with some of the best children's books ever written.

Where they live quite at their ease,
With their neighbors at their side
Just as we in cities wide.

I'm a Little Teapot
George Harold Sanders
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle (one hand on hip)
Here is my spout (other arm out straight)
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
"Tip me over
and pour me out!" (lean over toward spout)
I'm a clever teapot,
Yes, it's true
Here let me show you
What I can do
I can change my handle
And my spout (switch arm positions)
Just tip me over and pour me out! (lean over toward spout)

If you have to dry the dishes

Maybe they won't let you
Dry the dishes anymore.

And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Rhyme
Elizabeth Coatsworth
I like to see a thunderstorm,
A dunder storm,
A blunder storm,
I like to see it, black and slow,
Come stumbling down the hill.
I like to hear a thunderstorm,
A plunder storm,
A wonder storm,
Roar loudly at our little house
And shake the window sills!
This children's poem about thunderstorms can make your child laugh at something they may be afraid of.

As Soon as Fred Gets Out of Bed
Jack Prelutsky
As soon as Fred gets out of bed,
his underwear goes on his head.
His mother laughs, "Don't put it there,
a head's no place for underwear!"
But near his ears, above his brains,
is where Fred's underwear remains.
At night when Fred goes back to bed,
he deftly plucks it off his head.
His mother switches off the light
and softly croons, "Good night! Good night!"
And then, for reasons no one knows,
Fred's underwear goes on his toes.
Jack Prelutsky has published over 50 collections of poetry, most notably The New Kid on the Block, a cute assortment of children's poems. Limericks are some of our favorite poems for kids. Here are 15 limericks only clever people will get.

At the Zoo
William Makepeace Thackeray
First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the monkeys – mercy, how unpleasantly they smelt!
Your child will be begging to go to the zoo after hearing this poem. You can even recite it in the car on the way.

Learning
Judith Viorst
I'm learning to say thank you.
And I'm learning to say please.
And I'm learning to use Kleenex,
Not my sweater, when I sneeze.
And I'm learning not to dribble.
And I'm learning not to slurp.
And I'm learning (though it sometimes really hurts me)
Not to burp.
And I'm learning to chew softer
When I eat corn on the cob.
And I'm learning that it's much
Much easier to be a slob.
Eating corn on the cob quietly is an art that most adults have yet to master and arguably an important lesson we all need to learn. These are the forgotten manners every parent should be teaching their child.
