Not only is April Poetry Month, it's also National Humor Month

Also known as light verse, humorous poetry has long been a practiced form. From cowboys to columnists, from Chaucer to Silverstein, humorous poetry has plenty to offer. Here is a small list of collections of humourous poetry.

• The Oxford Book of Comic Verse
• Fireside Book of Humorous Poetry 
• I'm Too Young to be Seventy: And Other Delusions by Judith Viorst
• Under water with Ogden Nash 
• Comic Poems 

And as a small aperitif:

 Always Marry an April Girl by Odgen Nash

Praise the spells and bless the charms,/
I found April in my arms./
April golden, April cloudy,/
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;/
April soft in flowered languor,/
April cold with sudden anger,/
Ever changing, ever true —/
I love April, I love you.
