Anteater by Shel Silverstein A genuine anteater, The pet man told me dad. Turned out, it was an aunt eater, And now my uncle's mad!
The Dragon of Grindly Grun by Shel Silverstein I'm the Dragon of Grindly Grun, I breathe fire as hot as the sun. When a knight comes to fight I just toast him on sight, Like a hot crispy cinnamon bun. When I see a fair damsel go by, I just sigh a fiery sigh, And she'd baked like a 'tater- I think of her later With a romantic tear in my eye. I'm the Dragon of Grindly Grun, But my lunches aren't very much fun, For I like my damsels medium rare, and they always come out well done.
Above the poem Anteater is a pun and humorous because of it. The play on words is so simple yet so brilliant. Instead of ants getting eaten the boys aunt gets eaten. Hilarious! Below is a poem where a dragon is complaining about his meals getting overcooked. This is ironic in every sense of the word. Of course his meals will be overcooked, he is a dragon who shoots fire! The name of the dragon is also humorous.
