Chaplin puppet from Wikipedia on Chaplin.
What do you think is funny?
Is it standing on your head
Now that's a funny phrase
To keep you tossing in your bed
Some jokes give you a fright
Or keep you awake for half the night
As you ponder over puns
If you're the serious one
Now toddlers like a tickle
And toddlers like a giggle
Yet I'd slap tickling friends or stranger
Who protests ladies are fickle
I don't like wandering hands
I don't like loud, popped balloons
But I laugh at stranger's English
And an off-key old guy who croons
The secret of good comedy
Is raised eyebrow and the pause
It's all in the delivery
Which gives stand-ups aplause
If you repeat the stories
Which once made others smile
You will start to see a pattern
In a little, or long, while.
