Funny Man

Telling funny jokes
it's not easy
it's a serious business
so don't be surprised
instead of laugh
you can make people cry
when you tell your long story
and nobody reacts
but me
because the story
it's really funny
sucks the delivery 
humor it's nothing you can buy
like gold
or commodity
you are either funny
or you're not
i remember
people laughed at you
with hail tears
with the speech at the funeral
because by mistake
you broke wind
while speaking
and confused said 
"excuse me?excuse me?"
that's funny my friend
it's like the nurse
who doesn't respond
the red button of the emergency
instead she says
whatever
where is my bagel
see
she is in the wrong business
and she is funny
as hell...
