POETRY FUNNY, FUNNY FUNNY

 

 

There’s poetry funny

and there’s funny funny

a lot of poets achieve poetry funny

but will never sniff at funny funny

and it throws their equilibrium

when another poet does

They can’t grasp the guffaw

coming from the bouncer

and waitstaff hustling for tips

They raise their nose a trifle

never recognizing that

the bouncer and waitstaff

is precisely the audience

that poetry needs to reach

to avoid marginalization
