I Can’t Stand Another Poem! Comedy of Laughs

“I’m not listening to
another poem!!
You write them all
the time! Is it
a haiku?"

"Well, no."

"Then I'm not
listening. You make
fun off me in all
of them."

"Sometimes."

I read the latest
poem...

"Mark, mark! Did you
listen to it. You didn't
even look up from your
lottery ticket, or even
acknowledge that I
was here!"

"What?
You're here?"

A comedy
of laughs
