I’m
thinking
about writing
something humorous
It's for you I'm doing this
You so obviously encourage it
You want me to make you smile
grin widely, chuckle,
giggle, laugh
belly laugh, loud and raucous,
guffaw uproariously
until you are unable to stand or even sit and
you roll onto your knees
then fall to the floor
veins in your neck bulging
face puffed, purple
eyes protruding
mouth stretched to the limit showing
all your teeth
tongue lollygagging
now to it’s full extent
right to the end of your chin
spittle splashing
your hands clutching desperately at your sides
heart pounding urgently
while you thresh helplessly about
near to absolute oblivion
It might be worth recalling
this is all for you
it is what you wanted
begged for
it is even what you have been willing to pay for
well are you so sure now?
I hope this makes you happy
then you are
sure you are
ready
to
have
your
very
last
laugh
