Description: Tim Forsythe portal
Greetings friends. I've been writing funny poems for over 50 years and created this website so I can share some of my favorites with all of you. The audio recordings linked below are read by Siri (not me) and include background music to set the mood. If you prefer reading poems, the Poems button can be used to load a new poem with each click. I encourage you to rate them after reading by using the thumbs-up or thumbs-down button. I created new social media accounts so you can follow along.
Crocodiles Don’t Wear Socks 2022 is my seventh book of humorous poetry. In this collection, you’ll read twisted tales of crocodiles and kookaburras, dodos and rhinoceroses (endangered species of all kinds), witches and wanderlust, spaceships and shipwrecks. Besides a healthy dose of nonsense, I also cover subjects closer to home, like climate change and dating apps (Shh! Don't tell my wife). This collection also includes my tributes to Ogden Nash's The Purist and Marion Sinclair's The Kookaburra Song .
The Knocking Door 2021 is my sixth book of humorous poetry. In this collection I wax poetic about marriage and fatherhood, friendship and philosophy, and take you on a journey to the edge of the Universe and back again.
