Feed “Peter, Peter” something besides pumpkinĪnd don’t forget about nursery songs.Put Humpty Dumpty on something besides a wall.Remember, once you’ve selected a poem, you want to change the word that rhymes.
How many things can you think of to do if your house was a box? Would you gift wrap your house for Christmas? Maybe you would be happy that you no longer lived in a shoe? Or how about something like this: I think the idea of a person living in a box is pretty funny by itself, but I wonder what a person might do if they lived in a box. Now I’d also like to make this poem funny. I like socks, fox, rocks, and locks, but I think locks will work best because houses usually have locks. Now we need to find some words that rhyme with box. Where else could this woman live? Should we put her in a hat? Perhaps on a boat? Maybe in a drawer? You see, if she could live in a shoe, she could live just about anywhere, so I’ve decided that for my poem, she will live in a box. Let’s change this poem starting with the first rhyme. The word shoe rhymes with do and bread rhymes with bed. Notice that this poem rhymes on every other line. For example, you may have heard the Mother Goose nursery rhyme about the old woman who lived in a shoe. They should be easy to find because the rhyming words are usually at the end of each line, or the end of every other line. It’s always fun to take a nursery rhyme and change a few words to make it funny.įirst, you’ll need to choose a nursery rhyme or a well-known song such as “Row Your Boat.” There are hundreds to choose from, but here are some of the most popular ones to choose from:Īfter you’ve selected a poem, you’ll need to find the words that rhyme. While you can do this with any kind of poem, Mother Goose nursery rhymes are one of the easiest. If you want to write a poem, but you’re not sure where to start, try taking a poem you already know and changing it.
