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.

O my....do you have a book(s)? These 'punnies' (sorry) need to be assembled into a collection.....thanks for sharing.
Have a lovely rest of the weekend
Angels are on the way :) ps
Wow, this was a captivating story, and it provoked various emotions from happiness to sadness... And what a moral! I laughed in the middle, cried at the end, but now I am stunned because it so damn true - We seldom use our heads while we have it... or do we really have heads?
We live/drink life/wine until Fate turns us into mincemeat, and then we realize we were in fact @ssholes....
I could see this like a movie - the popping out of the body, arms and legs... Hilarious!
Voted up and funny, but also thought-provoking :)
This is a delight. Well written and humorous and effective language for visual representation. Thanks!
Better to be a nice head than 4-limbed and dead. Don't cross the street in the middle of the block!
Yes. You did. :)
I should have seen that coming. Hook line and sinker. lol. Very nice.
I tried not to, but I laughed anyway. You are a twisted punster.voted up!
Hi Dr,
I've been reading a lot of hubs today and finally, FINALLY, I truly laughed out loud. Has anyone told you that you are a nut? A fun nut that is!
Sharyn
drbj: Ouch!
Thank you, voted up, etc.,
Derdriu
OMG that funny!
(groan)
These are the worst (and funniest) puns I have ever had the misfortune to read!
My friend, you make me smile again. I love the way you share between funny and tragic at the same time. Again, you have done a great job. Rated up and have a nice weekend!

Hi Dr. BJ! Well, I thought I would get a head-start on bed tonight but this will keep me up and laughing for awhile!!
It is a sad story really. Gave me a headache. What a way to go!
OMG, This is soo funny.
I do wish the head had only drank wine
With his new found organ
The Girls 'wooda' stood in line.
Didn't see that Ending Coming...So glad I stopped by to read #3...I now feel like I'm a HEAD for a while!
I could just see this story unfold in my head as it went along. It's different, but very witty!
Wow! Brilliant! I'm in awe. Probably because I knew a head like that. Only he was a boy who had developed into a head, then he changed into a boy again because he drank too much. So the community hit him and made mincemeat of him. Your head in here was born a head. Now that makes this pun a tragedy. Bravo drbj! This is but only my interpretation of this excellent pun of yours. Perhaps I've seen only the ear of this hippo-of-a-pun?
Funny and tragic--good thing --it's just a poem. You've do have a knack for inventing these hilarious poems--love it and love it.
The doctor was definitely in the house today! You have a head start on the rest of us, but I fear we are all heading in the same direction - your poetry reminds me of a favorite hymn "Over my head, I hear music in the air..."
Cheers!
Voted up and hilarious - and why didn't I see that one coming?
Great job, BJ~!
This is one of the most moving stories every told. It's not every piece of poetry that evokes both tears of laughter as well as tears of sorrow. And 10 points for avoiding any mention of the song, "I ain't got nobody". I'm also a sucker for rhyming poetry (a lost art these days) so bravo Doc. I think you have a keen head on your shoulders.
Yes I'm contacting hub team immediately to request a wild button!
LOL!! I'm beginning to worry about your mental health, my friend. Voted up and funny.
After this - they need to have a wild! Button!
That was super entertaining and my eyes were glued to word after fascinating choice of word....all the way to the fascinating end!
My step dad was the kind of guy who - if you'd lost a leg - he'd say be happy you got another one.....look at the people who have none....now here's a case of someone who would be hard ta beet! LOL.
Ouch!!! That was cruel, drbj...and yet I head for every hub that you write! :D
haha yes I do like this one.
He should have kept his head instead of getting legless and gaining his legs.
I'm not sure if I'm making sense anywhere today.
Oh my, my head is spinning over your punny poems.
Shocking! What is the world coming to when a good head can't have a drink without being punished for it?
OMG! drbj! your humour is way over my head! Regards, snakeslane
