The Sit Down Comedian

He's unlike the kind you see on stage,
who do stand up like their actors in a play,
instead he'll sit down and build and create,
while he and his quirky imagination go on a nutella date,

He conjures up animal's who build rockets,
or writes about belly lint or whats in his pockets,
sometimes about unique strawberry women or unicorns,
or spam, pork rinds, or a zoo he might scorn,

His funny, quirky poems are definitely hard to resist,
that's why they're on my poetry reading list,
most of them light, comical and never a bore,
they'll tickle your funny bone right to the core,

That's why I try to read them first thing in the morn,
before I go to work and head out the door,
I'm sure like me he's a poet on the run,
just thankful he has time to be a sit down comedian.

Very lovely tribute to your dear friend, Cheryl. Classy poem on top of that. I have to check M.H.'s poetry list, and have a sit down and read some. If it's as funny as you say it is, then I'm sure to have a rib tickling time, eh. Love your witty humor always. Love and joy to you.
