The Joke (Poetry Marathon 2022 – Hour 11)<\/p>\n
The other day you told me something
\nFunny you read on facebook
\nI reacted by clicking the wow Icon
\nAs I almost fell off my chair.
\nI\u2019ve never been good remembering jokes,
\nSometimes I remember the punchline
\nSometimes I remember everything but the punchline
\nBut thank you for sharing the essence of what
\nWe all need to shake us out of the doldrums
\nAfter 2 years of hibernation.<\/p>\n
I am scratching my head now
\nWondering what made me break up
\nWith tears in my eyes
\nCausing an earthquake in my chair.<\/p>\n
I know you don\u2019t remember either
\nJokes being as ephemeral as nitrous oxide
\nJust hiding within the ether.<\/p>\n
Just for the fun of it
\nI try to find it on facebook
\nBut maybe it was instagram or twitter. <\/p>\n
Let us just enjoy the few seconds of mindlessness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
