Jokes About Art, Literature And Music
I’m looking for clean jokes about art, literature, music and poetry. Please try not to stray from the topics. Cursing and sexual situations are okay, as long as you are not gratuitous or obscene. If you must curse, please write the first letter of the curse word and underscore the letters. I want grade school and high school students to be able to view this website without running into objectionable material. Underneath the joke, simply write a hyphen and who wrote the joke. Below it a hyphen and the word ‘submitted by’ and your name. Have fun with this column!
Here are some Beat poetry-inspired jokes to give you an idea of what I’m looking for:
What if you had a restaurant and you named all the entrees after Beat poets or other famous writers? Allen Ginsburger, Jack Kerouac Babyback BBQ Ribs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti Spaghetti and Meatballs, Diane DiPrima Pasta Primavera, Upton Sinclair Eclairs. Okay, the last one is not a Beat writer, but I thought it was cute!
Allen Ginsberg scored a lucrative Gap pants ad before he died in 1997. William S. Burroughs scored a lucrative Nike TV commercial before he died in 1997. I got to thinking, what if the Beat writers had lucrative commercial endorsements when they were first starting out in the 1950’s and they were young starving artists, Would this have compromised their art? Allen Ginsberg came up with the concept of ‘Mind Breaths’ where your mind breathes and expands when you create and recite a poem. Mind Breaths sounds like it would be perfect for a breath freshener commercial! Tic Tacs presents Mind Breaths, An Evening with Beat Poet Allen Ginsberg. Goodyear Tires presents, On The Road, with Beat Writer Jack Kerouac. Hooters Presents, A Night On The Town, with Underground Poet and Ladies’ Man Charles Bukowski.
Please proofread your jokes and type in or copy and paste only your best jokes directly into the jokes column. When you submit your poem, you will automatically be sent an email confirmation where you will be asked to click on a link to confirm your submission, and your poem will be added to the website. This email may end up in you bulk mail, so don’t forget to check there also. This measure was added to each column to prevent spamming and unwanted messages. At the end of every month, I will remove objectionable jokes. Please proofread and edit your submission before you finalize your submission.
