This is a structure I created to focus on comic comprehension using poetic dicton and meter . The product of which is telling a joke or funny story using poetry as a vehicle for that .
My Example
The Field
By Paul McCann
A worm swallowed by a cow in a field ,
First though it was dead .
As it lay in the cows stomach it wondered and then it said .
"How am I going to escape from here ?".
Then it fell asleep .
When it woke the cow wasn't there ,
Just men who began to speak .
Two farmers in the field saw a flock of birds fly overhead .
Look said one to the other ,
"Gulls . "
The other one turned and said .
"How can you tell what sex they are from this distance ?
Don't be daft .
Watch that dung there ?"
"Too Late "
Said he ,
and they both began to laugh .
They got in their tractor and drove from the field onto the road ,
right in front of a truck that slammed on its brakes loosing its load .
The truck skidded into the field and burst into flames and smoke .
The farmers said ,
"We just got out of there in time . "
"Yeah , poor Bloke ."
