A to Z of The Funnies
A witty thought just winged in
Better not to share it
Cause you might not think it funny
Delivery is so important
Even when it's stand up at
Five and dime stores
Garden parties or elsewhere
Hone your sport
Intent on entertaining
Jocular bites will only taste
Kosher if that pinch of jest
Lingers long after narrated
Mind you it can be short
Neither risque nor bawdy
Often tasteless content
Perturbes the listener to a yawn
Quietly think things through
Recite it in monologue
Surely its okay
To bore oneself
Until a masterpiece
Ventures in on
Wings of creativity
Xerox a few copies
Yours can start with
Zeus on the mountain resides
