Rhythm adds to the feeling of a humorous poem, as do wry and/or clever rhymes. It seems to be that without these two features, humorous (poetry) would be just an anecdote, an epigram or a funny paragraph or two. But not poetry. But then I suppose there are those who would tell us that humorous (verse) is not poetry in any event. But let's not get into that... cheers Peter E
