What is the key to comedy
What is it makes you laugh?
Is it just the unexpected?
Like a cup moulded in half?
A stray cat waiting at your door
AA giant hat on a bard
A toddler drops fruit on the floor
A giant pop-up birthday card
Is it a cat climbing curtains?
A grinning cyclist has a fall?
A walker who hits a lampost?
A fat cat falling off wall?
A bird lurks and grabs your sandwich
A row of ducks crossing a road
Holding up a giant lorry?
A rudely croaking, grinning toad?
An owner and dog look alike!
A silly item out of place
Or flowers growing in a bike
Or twins pulling a funny face?
Life's often sad and serious
That's why we like to have a laugh
The reason your glass looks half full
Is me. I drank the other half.
