  Abstract:  The paper analyses the status of humour in the framework of the general theory of possible worlds, proposing the introduction of two new categories: fake-fictional and mock-fictional, which it defines and illustrates upon a corpus of English and Romanian humorous verse; this corpus has been selected having in view, as it is further demonstrated, that humorous verse is the area where most mechanisms of humour appear.
