One of my favorite poets would have to be Jack Prelutsky. He has written many books. All of his poems are meant to be funny. His poems makes you laugh constantly. Having the kids read a funny poem is always a good way to introduce poetry. A couple of his books are: The New Kid on the Block, For Lauging Out Loud: Poems to Tickle Your Funny Bones, Something Big Has Been Here, A Pizza the Size of the Sun, and It's Raining Pigs and Noodles. Kids will have a blast with poems by Jack Prelutsky.
I checked his website, and even the site is fun. His website contains activities with the poems, music, pictures of his family, and sports cards that have a poem on them. http://www.jackprelutsky.com/
