Open Mike At Comedy Coffin

They had open mike night at the Comedy Coffin Club.
Grandma came to watch Clarabelle, but Clarabelle held back.
So Grandma ran right up onto the stage and began her set.

Clarabelle could not believe the crowd’s reaction to this 
toothless old woman who did not hold anything back.
She was hilarious, and the club fell apart in her lap.
They called her back to the stage three times for encores.

Go on up! Clarabelle’s kin said to Clarabelle.
She ran away, screaming, because there was no way
she could follow that act.

It would be like trying to follow 
Jimmy Lee Lewis after he set the piano on fire.

I picture myself up there and I know I might need a drink first. One light beer should do it.
