Some People Think

Some think they have a sense a humor
Like a narcissist’s smile still waiting on the world
But can be as easy as turning a frown
Upside down by standing on your head
Overcompensating consoling to be or not to be
PC world is killing the comedy store
Humor has a way of bringing people
Together from ancient times
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine
When science finds some truth like magic spoof
You think that’s not funny where is your proof
The flitting dodo bird forgot to pack this
In its evolutionary case
Was I moving too fast, which came first the chicken
Or the punchline moving at the same speed
Only In different directions
Until a tranquil equilibrium is reached
Has reason gone mad keeping the whole thing
From collapsing in on itself the universe
But a black hole with a curlicue at the end
Provoking hostility in those that do not have it
With despair refusing to take itself seriously
In jest I plunge my rubber sword into the heart of darkness
Woe to the horse slow the wagon without springs
It was never forbidden unless perchance you were asleep
Humor is a funny thing Too-wit thoughts of humor

How many narcissists does it take to change a light bulb? (a) Just one -- but he has to wait for the whole world to revolve around him. (b) None at all -- he hires menials for work that's beneath him
