    They don’t make ‘em like Henny Youngman no more
          Borsht-belt comedians, vaudevillians before

     Delivered punch lines one after another and another
          Rat-a-tat-tat-touille ~ their tongues just like rubber

If you think whatever anyone says, is true, 
There is something horribly wrong with you.
Grown adults know there are good, and 
also, some twisted folks.
They laugh when an honorable person is
destroyed by despicable, untrue jokes.


In a world of media, the propoganda fools 
the best of our people.
Jokes hide murderous intentions~a brain 
is needed…not a tall

A Thank You Poem To the Bravery

I think it's genius
when a person can
see beyond the veil
as they used their gifts
in the most creative way,
in imperiling the darkness
in a jesting way. 
This is what we call comedy. 

There are many but 
few will dare to speak out.
The few to speak out
are the most noble ones 
with the heart of a lion.

Premium MemberComedians

Comedians exploit the people's need,
to have themselves a good laugh to escape their harsh reality.
If the environment were changed to one where everyone benefits,
feeling melancholy or depressed would cease to exist,
making comedians obsolete or at the very least jobless.

Premium MemberPresidential Comedians

I hear in the Ukraine
there's a comedian
with no prior political experience
who has become their new President.

I wonder
they did not hear
we tried this model in the U.S.
a couple years ago

With predictable tragic/comedic results
not the least bit friendly
to public multicultural health
sold out
to support feudal monoculturing wealth
of not so funny kleptocrats.

Natural Born Comedians

I had a class of sixth graders in Chicago,
Absolutely like no other.
Never a class so full of smiles and
hilarious pranks.
Their boundless joy rolled over me like
a huge Sherman tank.

I think they had their own student
lesson plan book,
Whose main topic was: "Let's make
Mrs. R. look like a schnook."
Don't ever tell them, please promise?
It was the

Premium MemberTragic Climates For Comedians

If we invested more educational mentoring time
sharing our own mixed-use and neglectful abuse
poetic wisdom stories,
and less time memorizing exegetical LeftBrain histories,
we might more cooperatively learn to live healthier together
and to internally die less, apart.

An under-exploited difference between comedy and tragedy
may discover you have a story to vulnerably share
more than recover from some dogma you compulsively

Premium MemberComedians Tell Jokes, Fools Ridicule

It’s odd how people who think they are funny, 
Confuse humor with offensive ridicule.
Saying hurtful, empty and shallow comments,
Pretending it’s all April fool.

Not standing behind what they say, or
Taking the blame for the hurt they cause.
Saying “Hey I was only joking, they’re not even here.”
As though that’s a moral escape clause.

These folks that lack this
