A Death Less Funny Than Most

You laughed You really did laugh At a joke so morbid yet clear Seen as a sin Now straight in the bin To chuckle at something so near I'm hurt Were hurt A group so new and always it seems in fear Offended Say it again, now reoffended by a story so funny it used to bring a tear For humour is old To be told is now bold That now lurks in us all as a ghost, For it is, A Death Less Funny Than Most JJB
