Writing For Chuckles

I write poems for sly smirks and laughter I want a hearty chuckle and an eye roll A reaction to some nonsense thereafter Something to ease the ache of life’s toll I want a hearty chuckle and an eye roll A clever play on words in my wordplay Something to ease the ache of life’s toll A headshake with a grin on a hard day A clever play on words in my wordplay You like chocolate? I just gave you a snicker A headshake with a grin on a hard day I’d read more bad puns if I could type any quicker You like chocolate? I just gave you a snicker I write with my left, an ambidextrous rite left, see? I’d read more bad puns if I could type any quicker To pepper you with jokes if you weren’t so salty I write with my left, an ambidextrous rite left, see? A reaction to some nonsense thereafter To pepper you with jokes if you weren’t so salty I write poems for sly smirks and laughter Nov 24, 2022 Pantoum on Writing Poetry Contest Sponsor: L Milton Hankins
