.I reckon you should start sending your poems to publishers.
A) because I'd buy a collection as they are great - and most comedy books are shit.
I think you'd have a chance of publication - even if it means lots of work and not much money to write the thing.
and
B) You could make a section on your website of good rejection letters - send them to non publishers too, just for the variety. eg, send your glasses one to the glasses wearer of the year contest and ask if you can read it at their awards ceremony.
It could make good content for your site.
