Notes About The Poem

Boredomites unite and AMUSE  your selves don't  depend on any one else. LOLOLOL

VB Rogers

I Amuse Myself

When no one else is around 
I AMUSE MYSELF while sitting down
And bring myself  tons of joy when I pretend to be 
A stand-up comedian amusing all my friends.

I amuse myself then.
Nothing else to do while sitting in the pews.
I might as well count my blessings, and
AMUSE myself while confessing.

When I'm sleeping I amuse
Myself with my nightmares as I'M screaming
Frighteningly  amusing me.

I amuse myself with fun and jokes GALES of
Laughter thereafter.  FUNNY patrols the halls 
Of speckled jest. HA! I amuse myself at my
Own request.

When muscles are weak from laughters cause
I amuse myself with my APPLAUSE.
I create a funny story recite it to myself
And listen to my own glee.

I amuse myself with peals of SPASTIC 
HILARITY.  With tricks and folly it's all the
Same.  I amuse myself with silly games

At the end of the day I'm amused by the moon
As it sits beneath its HALO  laughing quietly
At me
HILARIOUSLY amusing me.
