Lewis Black

Laughter most cathartic is what he'll imbue
Even when faced with politics mostly askew
Wit so acerbic bound with oodles of smarts
It's not surprising he has a Masters in Fine Arts
Some find him angry and more than a bit crass
But for the kernel of truth given, he gets a pass
Life and politics comprise his comedic styling
All who listen will find his mania beguiling
Comedy has found its reigning anxiety attack
Kindly cheer, applaud, and meet Lewis Black!
