I have heard many jokes about living in Oklahoma, and one of them is accurate when it says that there is not as much excitement in this state. However, I do believe that puns can make any place interesting, so here is an ode to puns for making my life in Oklahoma much more enjoyable:

Sometimes, people ask me why I love puns. I love the way they bring two meanings together, so I am writing this ode to puns to celebrate puns with every "pun" else!

Each pun is like a rose; they stem from words with original meanings that arose from the past usage of them, and each (g)rose into a new word in rows of others and develops into (p)rose.

Each pun is like a tale; each one will entail another total(e) meaning that takes tale(nt) to understand quickly, or the humor goes (s)tale. Each one is like a fractal(e) within another where words can build on each other until they turn into a pedestal(e).

Puns are like cellphones: they sell embedded meaning that (p)hones a person’s skills in the language.

Puns are like chairs: they are chairitable with their ability to accommodate multiple meanings in less space. The people who chair them with others do so out of comfort, fun, and with chairful ability to use their language properly.

Puns are like bread: they are the yeast likely to rise up from nothing for they need a word embreaded in them to make their meaning clear and concise.

Puns are like lamps: some people consider them to cause potential sick burns, but they clamp onto different subjects and lampoon readers into a whole new way of thinking.

Puns are like outlets: they let out the possibilities of twisting language by allowing people to plug in different parts of words into other words.

Puns are like art: they art not the completely correct way of using language; they dep(art) from the original rules of language. They draw upon original language, shape it into a whole new phrase, and paint a new vision of what language could become. They are the color in contrast to the regular black-and-white rules of language.

Puns are like clocks: they take time to understand and sometimes get out of hand as people tick away at talking about them.

Each pun is like a leaf: You have to beleaf in their value to branch out from the norm of the rules of language. Don’t treet them like humor that can fall short of your expectations because they sum(mer) up how language is morphed over time and spring into existence within every culture. You cannot win(ter) against them. You autumn try to see the contributions that they have made to history!
