Funny Pun about the Head
The Head
John was so happy
At everyone he smiled.
His wife was delivering
Their very first child.
His joy was short lived
He soon had to mourn.
His wife had expired
When his son was born.
But the boy survived
Just one problem, y’know.
He had no legs . . .
No arms . . . no torso.
There was just a head,
Handsome, it’s true,
But no other parts
Which ever grew.
John loved his son
And kept him alive
Because of his love
The Head did thrive.
John taught his son
In his home school.
He kept him at home,
Kids can be so cruel.
He fashioned a box
With a one-way screen.
The Head could see out
But no one could see in.
John took his son with him
To all sporting events
Football, baseball, tennis,
He spared no expense.
The Head loved movies
He knew all the stars.
He enjoyed the races,
Whether horses or cars.
Before very long
The Head was twenty-one.
John was so proud
Of his only son.
Let us celebrate,
You are a man, I see.
We will go to a bar
Your first drink is on me.
John ordered a whiskey
The patrons and bartender were in awe
Watching a Head drinking
Was the strangest thing they ever saw.
The Head made a face
At the whiskey’s taste
But drank it down
Without a smile or frown.
The weirdest thing happened
They all gave a big shout
Do you know what it was?
The Head’s torso popped out.
They all were in shock,
How could this be?
John begged his son
Drink another for me.
The customers all chanted
Drink, drink, drink!
So John’s son had one more.
And what do you think?
Two arms popped out.
The people went wild.
The son drank one more
No longer a child.
You know what came next
Two legs popped out.
Everyone in the bar
Gave a tremendous shout.
The bar was in chaos
Some patrons were praying
John’s son was now tipsy,
His body was swaying.
He stumbled through the door
Trying out his new legs
He almost fell on the floor
It was like walking on eggs.
He lurched and he staggered
And fell into the street.
Where a two-ton truck hit him
And made him mincemeat.
Everyone in the bar
Was shocked beyond belief
John fell to the ground
Devastated by his grief.
The bartender sighed
And this is what he said:
“That boy should have quit . . .
. . . While he was a Head!”
I am an incorrigible punster. Maybe you should not ‘incorrige’ me.
