Humorous Poems
Cute and Amusing Poems
Humorous poetry has been written for thousands of years. Many of us do not know that the nursery rhymes that we sang as kids were made up to convey information of a delicate political nature encoded in what sounds like a silly children's song.

However, we cannot take for granted the medium of humor as a way to convey information that may be politically dangerous.
