Saint Joan
George Bernard Shaw
Strange girl. Hears Voices.
But, by Jove, even in death
she lights up a room.

Just so, so good! The cleverest kind of humour, biting and fun without being disrespectful. Kind of begs the question, is a classic not just an old book, that for one reason or another - and sometimes that reason is, in fact, its age - has stood the test of time? Why should they be above a bit of gentle, intelligent ribbing?
My favourite lines were “all adulterers receive / free monogramming” and “nobles down, serfs up.” A joy to read and a wonderful way to dip my toes into the world of poetry, I think!

I snort laughed at this more times than I care to admit.

Got a few chuckles out of it, and a nice creative idea. Good writing exercise!

A bitesize, hillarious collection of Haikus guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Bader is clever, witty and concise in this wonderful bastardisation of the classics; who needs them anyway?
