Too Much Humor...?

Just thinking...

Too Much Humor…?


 


Is there such a thing?


Do I have to slow down a little?


Less pictures posted, less poems to bring,


Better maybe for me to stop the write & start to sing?


 


My head seems to be aching this evening,


Even after allergy meds and pain pills,


Pound it still does, not too bad, but still noticeable,


Perhaps if I just do pound my head on the table,


Perhaps though it maybe too much humor,


Now in my head I may have tumor…


 


Think of the headlines:


 


“MAN DIES OF TUMOR BROUGHT ON BY TOO MUCH HUMOR!”


 


“He did think too much,


Tried did he to make others laugh,


That was after all what he felt was his craft,


He did speak and write of everything,


He did make jokes so much some thought him daft,


Given to him by the god’s in the end, the shaft…”


 


So do you think that the gods would kill me?


Too much humor would I have,


If there were such a thing,


Or is it a virus like that of the flu?


As usual I have very little, if any, clue…

It is clear to me, Ed, with this one that I will never understand where some of your pieces come from. In my opinion, you've just come off of a week of some of your best work, hilarious, touching, scary, storytelling... and you top it off with an apology? She scratches her head, wanders off, muttering to herself. In my world, apologizing for being funny just doesn't happen. Period. Sigh... katy xox.

ed-
too much humour?
that's like too much sunshine,
or too many flowers
only some whacked out poltico
would say that---

the more serious the issue
the more humour
it requires

good write

Ed,
Do not joke about Brain Tumors, okay?
I take them very seriously.
However, for your poem, it was great!
Very witty!

Take care
