You Used to Be Funny
Poem (audio)
Repost - originally posted Aug 2023
You’re no joker - you’re the joke!
Eat your tomatoes- and choke!
Your routine, long stale,
has grown rotten as hell.
since you became all “woke”.
You used to be funny—
but then came the Big Money.
It sucked out your godly gift,
cajoled you into the grift…
Now, gig’s up, Sonny!
Here we sit and bellylaugh
at your onerous gaffe
of gratuitously giving
up your soul, for a living
on ol’ Satan’s behalf!
Commentary of poem:
This piece worked out as an extended limerick.
It’s dedicated to former comedians who deserves rotten tomatoes for purposely selling out, choosing to chase money and “woke” political clout to further their career and fame. (We have our ideas on who they are).

Excellent stuff as always.
