if i can't laugh
at myself
who may i laugh with

if i don't grin about you
where do i begin

if life ain't a joke
it is one hell of a poke

does GOD ever laugh
does Satin ever cry

if questions
aren't questioned
where is the Why

if i can't laugh
i don't want to cry

if answers were questions
where would the question be
i don't see

don't make no sense to me
a silent rhapsody

just a laugh
in a cry
an alibi
for why
a goodbye
to a smile
a poke
at a joke

a parody

not me, see
i can laugh at me
easily
cause i be a joke
a bloke
blowin' smoke
an old toke
a broken spoke

just rhymin'
and timin'
and grinnin' away
my way
sadly
with a grin
try agin
and agin
and agin
it ain't The End
i mend

with a laugh
with a cry
with a grin
and a tear
i face fear
and life
not another wife

i don't want ta' cry no more
that's for shore
it's a bore
lock that door
(smile)
