Stand Up Comedian

Say stand up, Comedian, where's replies?
Enough of your play-acting dead: your meme.
Flick the sand far and away from your eyes,
Your hands soiled with residue dust of dream.
Explain it All, everything that's occurred:
"Lily, Rosemary, And The Jack Of Hearts",
Now the Comedian's finally stirred, 
We need to laugh, learn, laugh, think, learn our parts.
Comedian come back. Now, now. Arise,
This world is everything, as it seems. 
Look all about you with them, those, your eyes,
Stand up Comedian, make sense of dreams.

OH no, Indiana. I am far, far from a newbie. I was just On Holiday for a while. My old work, I removed. But, I'm back. Nemesis...I like that term. So full of Irony, nes't pas?

Yes, people do need to laugh--especially when so many un-funny things are going on. Very descriptive poem.
