Pardon My Lame Humor

Dear 2024,

I hope this poetic vow 
wouldn’t be shunned,
as I block negativity 
from my phone, 
like my bitter exes.

And forgive my sense
of humor that 
resembles sour grapes, 
like a dash of salt 
and pepper sprinkled 
on top of old drapes. 
Perhaps, as this 
year bids adieu,
I’ll find the right 
ingredient to concoct 
sparkling wine infused 
with giggles that 
age like 
    chucklesome limericks,
as I fine-tune the 
empty spaces 
  of my scribbled 
pages with hilarity. 
I’ll learn to laugh a 
little louder and hope 
the ebb of every 
    comical tale can flow. 
Maybe a stricter 
chocolate diet would 
help me see the 
sweeter side of 
powdered comedians, 
sharpening my wit 
as endorphins enhance
 my ability to spot 
the depth of puns 
punctuated 
  with bizarre tones. 

And as December rain 
drizzles in symphony
of the darkness 
my quill flaunts, 
pardon these 
  peculiar metaphors, 
I’ll raise a glass
   of crocodile tears, 
a toast for 
  more concise poetry,
and faces I’ve phased,
that I’ll no longer 
  vent about in vain verses.

Cheers to the 
festival lights 
on wheel of laughter, 
may the florescence 
forever flicker as 
souvenirs of amusement.

I’ll dance into the 
rising sun of a new year,
in an odyssey adorned
with shimmering dreams
embalmed in
    tickling mint leaves.
