Why should a poem be serious!

Should I be funny or not?

Comedians are popular

And they get paid a lot!


Newspapers are full of tragedy

My friend Sandra won't read news at all

I'm in need of distracting comedy

While listening for the emergency call.


When asked to dinner, what to do?

"What should I bring? Must bring something ...'

They smiled, "The entertainment was you!"
