Poem: Towards an Understanding of Humour in Poetry

A poem about humour in poetry. A serious business, yo!

(There’s) Humour in poetry:
Three theories arise. Firstly,

Superiority Theory. We are
better than what we’re laughing

at. Secondly, Release Theory:
Suppressed feelings. Finally,

Incongruity Theory: Laugh
because of the perception

of something incongruous
(which may/may not be there).
