Punchline

 

Using a generous helping of your first ingredient,

stir, stir, stir.

A simple syrup of silliness,

into life’s blender and whir.

 

Pulse is a plus, each line, phrase, and ditty.

Rhyme if you must—just keep it witty.

Pour into stanzas; it should still be gritty…

 

Then top it all off, like icing to savor,

With a lingering laugh, to remember the flavor.
