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
