Favorite Funny Poems and Short Stories to Read OnlineWe offer several poems and short stories to read online (right here, on this website), that have been selected from hundreds and hundreds of period writings.

(A note: We have lightly edited some of the following works. Our intent is to clarify now-unfamiliar subjects and to update outdated language.) Here we go, starting with an excellent example of rhyming & timing by the March King himself:
It’s great to be American. Always has been. Enjoy!
