Sleeping with Dead Comedians...

Poem Artwork


 


Seems my sleep is always interrupted,


Just after my reflux has erupted,


They tell me I am nothing if not corrupted,


My dreams all night are then disrupted…J


 


I sleep with the likes of Chaplin,


Burns does to me as well speak,


The “man in the moon” does around me sneak,


I listen to them all, of me they do critique… J


 


Sometimes I am good, sometimes bad,


Sometimes they say I should, sometimes sad,


Sometimes even to myself I am misunderstood,


Most times though they tell me I am a relatively good lad…J

"a relatively good lad" indeed, Ed. No contradiction from me. But beware of brother Ed, should he be hovering around.

no wonder you have such a great sense of humor and look at it from the bright side at least you're not sleeping with dead poets ;)

Keep listening to them and maybe, just maybe, you'll believe.

Was that Burns and [Lord] Byron?

BTW Chaplin's Coping with Technology in Modern Times is a real hoot--especially the eating machine--they feed me with it.

Comedians usually die at the London Palladium...how do they find their way into your dream, Ed? Funny things about dreams. We have folk in them but they are never able to remember being in our dreams.
