Laughing Into 2023

Laughter is the shortest distance between the joker and the listener: My friend got robbed today, they took away his girlfriend Valentine's gift. Now, he rehearsing how he will explain to his girlfriend, how he got robbed on his way from work! Valentine is for youths, for us Papas and Mamas. Let us just wait for Traditional Ceremonies, Weddings, Easter and Good Friday! A young man has deactivated his facebook account after 2 ladies posted him for Valentine. The people that removed 30th and 31st from February should please remove 14th, as well! My nephew put a car key inside the loaf of bread and gave it to his girlfriend, in the morning as a Valentine's gift. She rejected and throw away the loaf of bread. Accusing him that he doesn't love her! I am a nursery school teacher, and don't like the way some parents mix juice. It's tasteless and oftentimes biscuits are too hard! My brothers wife slapped him because he went to the bathroom to see if their maid was using his soap and lotion! Life is hard, I remember reading without electricity. I hard to smell the words and numbers! I introduced betting to my landlord last month, as am talking to you now.... we are both tenants! One day, the ATM debited an old man in front of me without dispensing money to him. He grabbed me and shouted' You are my witness, let's go to the police". Sometimes I will just open my fridge and close it again. Because the sound of the fridge makes me feel like I own a car! The relationship between fish and water makes me believe that betrayal of Judas Iscariot is real. When I see water participating in cooking fish! Today was my first time in High Court and the judge shouted order! I replied "Fried rice, chicken, chips and disposable drink. Right now, 2 police officers are escorting me outside. I guess we are going to the restaurant! When we met she asked me , what I do for living? I Frankly told her that I read comments on social media and she definitely left. I wonder why mosquitoes are very active at night than during the daytime. Maybe you seem to be experienced. Let me sleep now. I remember when I was heartbroken, I had to iron all my clothes and after finishing. I realised I didn't switch on the socket when I started to iron clothes! I was listening to a Chinese song and I cried bitterly. Later, I was informed that the song was about agriculture! Inspired by Zambian Comedians Poetry Chipepo Lwele 15/02/2023
