Sense of Humour

Isn’t if funny how I just told you yesterday
I always get along with everybody then
directly had a terrible argument with
you, proving my statement untrue?

I must say on my behalf, any form of
superior moral rectitude gives me the
creeps, how was I to know you find
all common jokes below

Your very refined mind? Remind me in
future to say I get along with everybody
as long as they respect my choice
of jokes - I won’t bend

My sense of humour out of shape
simply because you’re a
prude!


Come Hither, Today Is My Forgiving Day!

Today I’m turning over a new leaf
forgiving all my so-called enemies

The Preacher-man may sermonize
all he wants, I’ll respect his wishes

For holiness, I’ll forgive the tax-man
for not deducting medical costs, I’ll

Forgive my better half for insisting
I should pester them, I’ll stop saying

Funny things about Steve, our local
Don Juan allowing him to make any

Amount of promises to any amount
of credulous girls, I’ll pronounce only

On their sweet innocence respecting
his desire for his own harem, today

Is the day of forgiveness, I’ll forgive
Theo from Agriculture for sending us

Endless demands for translations of
pesticides, I’ll forgive the whole

Industry for the poisons they force us
to ingest – anybody out there who feels

Forgiveness is all they need, come hither,
today is my forgiving day!
