‘You must make me laugh,’ she said.
‘I expect at least one occasion during the day
Where I shall at least giggle,
From something humorous you have said.’
I was concerned
I am not a funny person
My dour personality is sought after
By funeral directors and school inspectors.
A thought!
I shall purchase a joke book,
This will help
‘Jokes for Dummies’ I can’t possibly fail with this one.
I have a week in which to practice.
Dread!
Maybe I shall wear a funny costume,
False moustache, plastic nose,
Put down a woopy cushion
Everyone laughs at fart jokes.
But she said once she doesn’t
Fart that is,
So that’s going to fall on a dumb bum.
Failing all efforts there is only one last
Conceivable strategy I would consider.
Be me!

A nice poem and a good strategy
Thank you Esther, I appreciate your comment. Thanks for reading.
LOL—best stategy is always being one’s self…a pleasent chuckle is guaranteed if we just let ourselves go no?
So true Georgia, and that it how it shall be.
Cool!! 🙂 🙂
Thanks Helen. Hope you had a productive day.
hahaha I giggled.
Thank you Anja, happy you saw the funny side of this.
This definitely made me smile, Michael. One should always be one’s self for the very best results. It’s funny (and strange perhaps) but as I was reading this, I could visualise To The Manor Born and hear Penelope Keith’s character, Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton speaking the first part, and then Peter Bowles very dour Richard DeVere joined in.
Thanks Lyn, that’s a flattering comparison. Glad I made you smile.
Ha – your post made me chuckle.
Can’t go wrong with being you! 😉
Thanks RoSy, chuckling that I made you chuckle.
oh you have me chuckling away – I promise – you and I will laugh – don’t bother with the joke book 🙂
Thanks Jenny. I do hope so, even if I do have a dour personality…..you think?
pfft at dour
I definitely think it’s the best strategy… will give the right sort of laughter as well..
“So that’s going to fall on a dumb bum”…..Lol!! Yes, just be you, and that can’t possibly fail 🙂
That’s all I can do…be me
From A to Z, lol…..I’ll let you borrow it 😉
You are so kind to me…
You deserve it 🙂 Talk soon!
Ha Ha, this made me laugh and if you let yourself go, well, you know what they say about relaxing and passing gas…{chuckles}
Thank you Oliana I had a good time writing this one, glad to see it gave you a smile.
