POEMS

Cant you take a joke, kid ?

Look, I was only teasing. C’mon, it’s all in fun Look, I was only teasing. C’mon, it’s all in fun. You got no sense of humor? Aren’t we the touchy one! But I don’t find it funny. I guess I missed the joke. Thought if I say that outright, They’ll laugh until they croak. Hey! Can’t you take a joke, kid? Are jokes supposed to hurt? I fail to see the humor. You called me “stupid jerk”! My! Your skin is awfully thin. Stop getting so perturbed. Hello! We all have feelings! I guess you haven’t heard. What side did you get out of bed? Why can’t you let me be? Because you’re really fun to bug. It’s awesome, can’t you see?
