Humoristic In-capabilities…

A certain poet of our knowing,

Has suggested and hoped that I will step in a pile,

No not of poop, but of humor,

I certainly do hope, it is not as vile,

Stepping in humor and not also in bile…

Am here to tell you,

While my humoristic abilities have waned,

I can spin a seriously interesting poem,

So to read what I have written, you have most certainly gained,

Knowledge that you may have not have achieved,

If reading me you are not, you would be to some an old sot…

For reading this author/poet/writer/ignoramus/moron/insane person,

You are doing for yourself what a bear does in the woods,

Cleaning out your system as well as scratching your back on a tree,

Both of which are completely, for now, mostly free,

So keep up with these writes, these poems, they are mostly a fright,

I try to keep you smiling at least, if not laughing within a barrel,

While going over the falls, that must take at least a lot of balls…
