It's a collection of jokes (apparently) written by children. They aren't funny, in the sense that they make no damn sense. Yet, lots of them are funny in the sense that they are completely ridiculous but you can see what the child was trying to do, i.e. deliver a joke in the same style as they have heard before, e.g.

  Knock, knock
  Who's there?
  A ladybug.
  Ladybug who?
  A LADYBUG. I just SAID that.

  whats a fish with no eyes.

That one I found way too funny haha

"What is yellow and if you get it in your eye you die?"

"A train" (context, in the Netherlands all the large intercity trains are yellow)

Q. Why did the girl fall off the swing? A. Because she had no arms!

"Fsh".

I like to send messages to my partner where I say “I wrote a song for you” and then what follows is a few lines about how they’re great, and in my head it COULD be sung as like a really awkward song, but when you read it it doesn’t really look like a song at all. No rhythm and no rhyme. I guess it’s fun to write a non-song and pretend it’s a song.
