TO THE TELLER OF A LAME JOKE (Poem)

© 1968, 2016

I lift my long and leaden limb.
THIS, I say, I'll give to him.
And so, without a moment's warning
(It's the same at night or morning),
If we don’t laugh (until we choke)
Because he told a bad, lame joke,
For all his efforts, he'll only get

A broken breeze for his weak wit!
