Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Paper Comic

Some don't think  I'm funny
But that's not true at all
Others think I'm serious
Although I'm having a ball

I have a sense of humor
Even though it is my own
I sometimes laugh quite loudly
Mostly when I am alone

When I see other's antics
It's not my wish to be rude
So I listen to each word
And to their actions I am glued

I keep my thoughts to myself
Most of the laughter is inside
For my inner comedian 
Is the one enjoying the ride

All my gathered material
The observations I have made
Conversations and actions
In my mind are all replayed

By reading my words with intent
You'll witness the humour within
My methods are somewhat subtle
For my content is paper thin

Debbie Guzzi November 16, 2014 at 9:39 AM So nice to hear so much from you lately, I'd love a juicy soup mail on how your publishing.Light & Love Richard Lamoureux November 16, 2014 at 12:11 PM Hi Debbie I will send you a soup mail.

Monterey Sirak November 9, 2014 at 8:24 AM I can see the humor in you. You have more restraint than me. It is hard to hold the laughter in. I tend to erupt in giggles at the most inopportune times. Richard Lamoureux November 9, 2014 at 10:46 AM Every so often I just lose it and I can't stop laughing. I have a friend Andrew Scott who brings out this side of me. I also have another friend Who I have been friends with since I was 16 who has the same effect on me. His name is Johnny Kaminski. I think I am going to post a picture on my Facebook that he's sent.

Maurice Yvonne November 2, 2014 at 10:13 AM Yup, I could see that type of humor and your restrained reactions confuse the odd person into thinking you might be the serious type, I wonder what it is they missed. A most enjoyable read.

Dorian Petersen Potter October 31, 2014 at 10:41 PM Nice written poem expressing yourself Richard. Nice knowing more about the real you. Lol....Truly enjoyed it! ;) xxxx D Richard Lamoureux November 1, 2014 at 6:56 AM Thanks Dorian. ;0)

Verlena S. Walker October 31, 2014 at 12:31 PM I love your humor Richard. Nicely written and enjoyed. Verlena Richard Lamoureux November 1, 2014 at 6:57 AM Thanks Verlena. Hugs Rick.

Paul Callus October 31, 2014 at 4:14 AM Well done, Richard! This is my type of humour...not too obvious, neither crude nor overwhelming. It's the right amount of salt in the pan. Excessiveness can spoil a good meal. Have a nice day. // paul Richard Lamoureux October 31, 2014 at 7:27 AM Thanks Paul, I hope you enjoy your day as well.

Timothy Hicks October 30, 2014 at 11:40 PM Witty and introspective. I'd like to see all that pent up laughter just burst out of you. Subtlety is a much more appealing form of humor. That way you can laugh about almost anything because you see other things that most everyone else misses... I enjoyed this one a lot. Richard Lamoureux October 31, 2014 at 7:30 AM I enjoy a good laugh, I have the feeling you do as well.

Nette Onclaud October 29, 2014 at 6:53 PM cleverly done with such subtle wit, rich.. much enjoyed.. huggs Richard Lamoureux October 31, 2014 at 7:32 AM Thanks and a big hug for you as well.

Robert Nehls October 29, 2014 at 6:33 PM Hi, Richard. Humor comes in many forms and your poem is driven by the subtle wit that is quite pleasant to read. Enjoyed this one, my friend.... Robert. Richard Lamoureux October 31, 2014 at 7:33 AM What a great comment. Thanks Robert.

Mama Bear October 29, 2014 at 10:00 AM You are more than a paper comic. The laughter in you is contagious as we both well know. Lots of love and laughter have been definitely shared both in person and on paper. Love you Mom
