ode to laughter

Pirate on a boat
Soldier on the land
What I thought was funny
The lion said was bland

Adult in the shower
Child releasing poo
What I thought was funny
Was the decoration on the loo

Mammal in the water
Mammal in the air
What I thought was funny
Was a bum shaped like a pear

Goat on the mountain
Sheppard in the grass
What I thought was funny
Was distinctions based on class

Skin on the flesh
Flesh on the bone
What I thought was funny
Was a gratuitous death moan

Lying on a bed of steel
Isn’t for the poor
It is for the pretentious types
For whom normal art is a bore

Twisting to the music
Dancing to the song
What I thought was funny
Is how a g-banger can be a thong
