The first of the funny school poems deals with those brave and underpaid souls who spend their days on the front lines, substituting for absent teachers. I think they deserve a special poem, just for them. Don't you?

Substitute Hurray! We heard our teacher cannot be with us today. Instead, we'll have a substitute. (We'll make her earn her pay.)

Michael will throw spit wads, and Brandon will eat chalk. Patrick will poke David, and all of us will talk.

We smiled and laughed with pleasure as these thoughts filled every head, until we found our teacher sent the principal instead!

Funny School Poem Number Two

The Dog Ate My Homework The dog ate my homework just like it was kibble. He started up slow with a cute little nibble and then scarfed it down with a burp and a snort. How was he to know that my special report was due here this morning precisely at 8:00. So now it is eaten. I'm sorry it's late. But what can you do when your dog needs a snack and your stapled report comes under attack? I told him to stop but he just wouldn't mind. When my dog is hungry, he's not very kind. I'll bring it tomorrow, and you'll see it then. So long as my dog isn't hungry again.

Funny School Poem Number Three

Yes, I Ate His Homework Yes, I ate his homework. You think I'm a liar! So kind of you, teacher, to go and inquire. It's just that when hungry, despite what you think, there's nothing more tasty than paper and ink, unless it's some slippers or brand-new soft shoes, or maybe a sheet of some basted raw chews. I ate all the homework and part of the couch. There's so much to eat and I'm hardly a slouch. So that is my story. I'll swear that it's true. Excuse me for now, I have text books to chew.

Funny School Poem Number Four

Science Day A monkey came for science day with people from the zoo, who showed us slides of chimps and apes and told us what they do.

The monkey stayed around a while and made himself a pest. And worst of all: he scored much higher than me on our test!

• Funny Poems About Teachers: Celebrating the Humor in the Classroom

Teachers play a crucial role in shaping young minds, but they can also be a source of inspiration for some lighthearted humor. Funny poems about teachers provide a delightful way to celebrate the unique quirks and idiosyncrasies of these dedicated individuals. In this article, we will explore a few hilarious poems that capture the essence of the classroom, making us smile while appreciating the hard work teachers put in every day.

Poem 1: "Ms. Poppins"

Poem 2: "the homework trap", poem 3: "the master of pencil land".

Ms. Poppins is a poem that pays homage to the magical aura some teachers seem to possess. Here's a snippet of this whimsical verse:

Ms. Poppins, oh so fine, A teacher with a touch divine. She floats through each day with a magical air, Her students' dreams, she's always there.

This playful poem portrays a teacher who enchants her students with her captivating presence and unwavering support.

Homework is a never-ending saga in many students' lives. This next poem, The Homework Trap , humorously captures the sentiment of countless students who have tried to escape its clutches:

Oh, the Homework Trap, it's so sly and clever, It waits for us students, plotting forever. The minute we sit down to relax, It pounces on us, like a sneaky cat with a knack.

This light-hearted poem highlights the universal struggle of students trying to evade the inevitable burden of homework, providing a chuckle for both students and teachers alike.

Teachers often have to deal with misplaced or broken pencils, a constant source of amusement for everyone involved. The Master of Pencil Land is a poem that playfully teases a teacher's uncanny ability to produce pencils out of thin air:

The Master of Pencil Land, he's a sight to behold, Whenever you need one, he's never far from gold. From his pockets and desk, they magically appear, With a flick of his wrist, he makes them reappear!

This whimsical piece celebrates the teacher's talent for keeping the classroom stocked with pencils, seemingly defying the laws of nature.

Funny poems about teachers offer a unique perspective on the comical situations that arise within the classroom. Through witty verses and playful imagery, these poems remind us to appreciate the lighter side of education. Whether it be the enchanting presence of Ms. Poppins , the never-ending struggle with homework in The Homework Trap , or the magical pencil-wielding abilities of The Master of Pencil Land , these poems add a touch of humor to our educational experiences, making us appreciate the teachers who make it all possible. So next time you find yourself in a classroom, take a moment to smile and remember the joy that can be found in the laughter shared between teachers and students.

Clever Homework Poems About The Burden Of School

You could make the words of a homework poem great words to live by. Here are a few of the best homework poems that you could recall when it comes to this tough subject. These come in various forms and will encourage you to think a little more about the ways how you are:

Why I Didn’t Do My Homework One of the best funny homework poems entails thinking ab out homework in general: I can say that I didn’t do my homework Or I could say something else instead I could say that my dog ate it Or that it was lost in a spread I could argue that my homework went missing And say that it was in a bend But either way no matter what I say I am surely going to end up dead.

Eating Homework For Breakfast The next funny poem on homework is about getting ready for the day: I thought I ate my homework With a nice side of grapes But that excuse was anything But the best type of escape But while I thought I ate it I made the ultimate sin I took that piece of paper And threw it in the trash bin.

Not Having Homework You don’t need to make overly long funny poems about homework, as this one shows: I wish to have no homework, for it would be great A day without stress, I cannot wait But as I enjoy a day full of rest The next morning, there comes a sudden pop test.

The Dog Ate It Here’s another of the best funny school poems about homework, this time about one of the most popular excuses around: The dog, he comes along He sees what looks like a big block of cheese Something white and vibrant. Maybe mozzarella? A delicious treat, but it’s surprisingly thin He eats and eats, and he loves the taste tints Blue tones, some pinkish features, lots of stuff A lovely treat for the taste buds Best of all, it is not all that filling It takes a bit to consume though. But the flavor is worth it But soon, the young kid is upset Tears start flowing and worries come about But at least we know where the homework went.

The Acronym The last of the homework poems to read involves how homework may be used as an acronym. As it turns out, sometimes the best funny poems about homework entail the true to life things that you might enter when completing homework. H is for Hassle, a burden to see Far too difficult of a task for me O is for Official, as that is what I must do But even with that work, my feelings are so blue M is for Messy, so complex and tough All of my notes are far too rough E is for Easy, as least that’s what I wish All these problems are harder than a vegetable dish W is for Worry, a point which I feel The worry of missing a deadline is real O is for Original, that’s what my work is to be Although a calculator or Wikipedia works best for me R is for Ridiculous, the amount that I get I haven’t had a day off this year yet K is for Krazy, and I know it was misspelled wrong But I probably messed up my homework all along

Other Great Poems There are some other entertaining poems worth taking a look at. These include amusing poems that are all about homework and can be found at poemhunter.com:

• Homework, Oh Homework! by Jack Prelutsky
• Homework by Jack Kerouac
• The Homework Machine by Shel Silverstein
• Why Do I Hate My Homework? by Anthony Pham
• Science Homework by Kenn Nesbitt
• Homework by Faith Long

Of course, there are plenty of other great poems about homework worth looking at. It is interesting to see how well homework can inspire so many people to write about it and what they like and usually don’t like about it. A Final Word Are these funny poems about homework ones in which you can relate? Maybe you thought these homework poems were great. But whether or not you plan to rhyme, a good poem for your thoughts is always worth the time.

Funny Poems for Kids

Funny Children's Poetry

Sometimes children with their fresh eyes looking at the world may be able to see that which an adults eyes pass over. There are many sayings to express this sentiment. One is, "out of the mouths of babes", another coined by a television show is, "kids say the darndest things". We recognize that as adults we have become jaded. We may miss hilarious ironies about the world that our children have to point out to us. If I had to take a guess, I would say that children are in the world for just this purpose.
