Notes About The Poem

Ha-Ha

ha-ha, my brother,
joined
the club,

with a tilted back,
and wheelies
popped,
from a
mo-bile chair.*

ha-ha’s
looking for-
the morning news,
his glasses,
a snooze…

a giant donut
to eat,
to sit upon-
so sweet.

ha-ha  rides
his giant lab
to
the toilet seat.

ha-ha
laughs last
at
me-

his sister joined
this club
initially.

he laughs!
he laughs!
hee hee…
ho ho…

think i’ll poke
him in the eye…

where…are my…glasses?

the joke
died 
before
I found 
my 
sight.

truth is
ha-ha’s
fit

as a fiddle

fabulous

on
a winning
streak

truth is
i love this old
knucklehead,

laughing hyena,
my nemesis,
my protégé.

ha-ha’s a riot-
i’m clutching
my gut.

it’s his birthday
…ha-ha
tag…

you’re sixty!
Happy Birthday, Bro!

*He is not in a wheelchair nor bent over, just said in jest. Forgive me, if you, yourself have any of these conditions. Love you all <3

Is this for a contest? While one must not make fun with illnesses, we do laugh at those who trip easily. Hugs.

He’s not ill as I said at the bottom. Just kidding him a bit. He turned 60 today. Not for a contest.
