John Gondolf Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

I have many blonde friends, and over the years I have told many blonde jokes.  It occured to me that maybe this was a bit insensitive and that maybe I had hurt some feelings.  So I wrote this poem to make amends with my blonde friends.  I appologize if this offends any brunettes out there; this is written tongue-in-cheek. :)

Blonde Joke

Blond Joke

Yesterday as I was walking down the street
I saw an old friend who was quick to greet.
During our visit a joke he did tell
about a blonde who didn’t reason too well.

She saw a Cheerio box and thought it to be
donut seeds to plant under a tree.
After a forced laugh I thought “what a sap;
why is it that blondes get such a bad rap."

How could a creature with looks so fair 
be judged merely by the color of her hair?
This certainly doesn’t seem so right
for blondes to be sentenced to such a blight.

After pondering the issue I reached this conclusion
the ignorance of blondes is just an illusion
that is created by the jealousy of nerdy brunettes
who are terminally homely and lacking in assets.

Many blondes out there are smarter than you think;
they will out-wit you before you can blink.
When you next hear a blonde joke, think of this;
there is a brunette somewhere with something amiss.
