Here is a humorous poem by Edward Lear, called "The Pobble Who Has No Toes":

The Pobble who has no toes

Had once as many as we;

When they said "Some day you may lose them all";

He replied "Fish, fiddle-de-dee!"

And his Aunt Jobiska made him drink

Lavender water tinged with pink,

For she said "The world in general knows

There's nothing so good for a Pobble's toes!"

The Pobble swam across the bay

(He couldn't swim very far, you know);

But when he got out, on the beach he lay,

And said "I'm glad there are no more to go!"

For the Pobble who has no toes

Was happy as an angel, quite,

Until the day when, much to his woes,

They carved that Pobble up for fry.

This poem is written by Edward Lear, who is known for his humorous and nonsensical poetry, and it is a great example of his style. The poem is about a creature called a Pobble, who has no toes, and it tells a funny story about how the Pobble tries to enjoy his life despite his lack of toes. The poem is written with a light-hearted tone and it has a good amount of wordplay which makes it fun to read.
