Poem Title:
Poem
My trump suit against lifelong tragic tone Lodged leisurely inside my funny bone. By dismal doom I decline to abide - I crack it up to a facetious side. In each pickle, regardless size and shape, There is a laughing matter in a jape. When unwelcome hiccups simmer and spout, I’d pick and poke something to smirk about. For every spiteful slap and whopping whip There’s an amusing snicker of a quip. Farcical figures of speech I’d pour on - Absurd, irony or oxymoron. When on the dark my mindset dares to dwell, Biting sarcasm and sharp satire mix well. Last not least parody’s comical spin Converts my frown into a happy grin. Don’t sweat to second my funny bone, folks - I chuckle and chortle at my own jokes. Speaking of which the punch line in the pun - And so I lived to die for - having fun!
