Comedic Poems

HAHA I'M MANIC

All that 
remains 
of our 
love
is a faded Polaroid,
a carton of cigarettes,
and two cases of beer.
I'll forget you soon,
but for now,
I'm cracking open 
another one—
let's hope these 
memories 
blur!

You aren’t 
a burden,
you are 
a blessing.

Bipolar 2

I'm secretly 
a genius, trouble 
is, I'm the only 
one who knows 
about it. 

I'm much too 
shy to show it, 
and I'm much 
too mad to keep 
it constant. 

I'm either busy 
laying in my bed, 
missing out. 

Or overworking 
myself to the point 
of exhaustion. 

There's no 
in-between. 

And that, 
my friends, 
is

Bread

Good bread.
Baguettes and buns.
I like bread way too much.
Bagels toasted with butter. Yum.
I'm full.

Comedic Moments

Comedic moments when some people talk harshly about things they couldn't understand 
It's like trying to criticize the ground where they stand 
Without understanding how it came to be 
Even dirt on their faces, they could not see

Remembering a Comedic Genius

Sadness becomes the pall over depression’s bleak coffin
Closing the florid lid on satin-encrusted chests of dismay
Where the stench of a life is entrusted to death and decay
Left in the hopeless depths of a dug-out trench, too often,
Then promptly forgotten unless one is renown, say, a star*
Whose life was made palatable by imaginative, fictional roles
Seen on

Santa's New Team

Santa's New Team

Christmas Eve was coming
There was plenty to be done
There were protocols to follow
There were programs to be run

Presents needed wrapping
Elves had duties of their own
They've been doing it for centuries
They could call Christmas in by phone

Reindeer games were scheduled
Christmas Carols to be sung
There were toys to be assembled
There were bells that must be

Comedic Redemption

COMEDIC REDEMPTION

Once when that black ice cloud chilled me again
In mind and heart, it froze all aspiration
Taking me below resentment fear or pain
To a hopeless state of cold dark enervation

A voice on air waves transformed my demeanour
A fabled comic, stand up routine performing
His art, and vital zest were my spirit's redeemer
Irreverence blest achieved a mind's

The Comedic Candidate

The Comedic Candidate 

Joe Dougherty


Down a path through a wooded glen
Strolled the old hapless comedian
His humor now but a memory fading
His life spent merely masquerading

Things are seldom as they appear to be
And the serious life was not for he
Laughter was his gift to give
But a nobler life he’d wished he’d lived

Times of plenty fade away
Hearts

Comedic Penny Pincher

Comedic Penny Pincher

Jack Benny’s
Comedic persona was to pinch pennies.
Every week he would lead his merry band
And Rochester would always get the upper hand.
