Humour Wins Hands Down

Tried writing stuff of a serious nature Just knew it wasn't for me Dabbled a bit but I just couldn't hack it A humorist is all I'll be It's not exclusive, still write about love Some about conflict and war But I'd rather write about a sorry dude Slipped on a banana peel and swore Don't call me Burns or Shelley or Keats Prefer ones that make me cackle Guess you could call me low brow poet Causing one's tail to waggle Was born with a silver spoon in my mouth Fortunate when so many struggle Don't call me down, it wasn't a choice Much like the law of the jungle The luck of the draw, whatever you call it Really didn't have much of a say I was truly a product of World War II years Still happy to this very day
