The type of poem you are referring to is called a "pun." It is a form of wordplay that creates a humorous effect by exploiting multiple meanings of a word or phrase. Puns often elicit both groans and laughter from the audience.

A groan could also be a way of appreciating a clever pun without breaking a perceived social barrier for laughing at puns.

What causes people to groan?

It all depends on what happens to them. Say for instance someone is bothering them and they want them to know but with out words they'd groan loud enough so they can hear it. A groan is made low in the throat to show pain, sorrow, anger, or grief. When someone is in trouble or if they got grounded they'd groan or moan since they probably didn't do anything but got blammed anyway. Or if someone's in pain and it hurts so they won't cry they'd groan and say something like "Ow that hurts!". or just a simply OW would do it. Hoped I Helped Ya.
