Poems with punch lines.

I have written one:

Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down
rolled on the ground
and Jill screamed, "I thought we ought to go higher?"

Note: Textbook Pg. 7

Would you like to try? It's easy and fun. Just think of a poem that you know and change the last line. Make it funny or silly or zany or wacky or comical or goofy or...

Riddles can be funny too! (Click Me!)

Jokes are funny. So are riddles! However, jokes and riddles are not the same.
1. Do you know why they are not the same?

2. What's the answer to this riddle?
I have eyes but cannot see. What am I?

3. Do you have a riddle to share?
(You may choose to leave out the answer or include the answer)
