Poetry pleases

Poetry. Like opera, a bit of a puzzle to me.

A mini project, to learn to appreciate and familiarise myself with poetry. Every day I read aloud a poem to enjoy. So far, we are mostly on funny poems.

Liking AA Milne, Spike Milligan, Edward Lear, Hilaire Belloc and TS Eliot.

It seems to be quite therapeutic, reading poetry. It slows you down and helps you to focus.

Does anyone have any favourite funny poems?

I am also reading The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry, a guide to understanding how poetry is written.
