The Humorist and the Alchemist
The humorist compares to the alchemist of old
except his humor he transmutes into laughter
not the precious metal the alchemist is after,
though humor is often worth its price in gold.
And whereas no alchemist, we’re told,
ever transmuted a speck of anything into gold,
he did achieve more than a measure of laughter –
not exactly the result he was after.
