I step out Scan the crowd This is still new to me OK, some classics to break the ice They grumble A few mumbles And then I stumble That one topical joke that fell flat on its face Wether it be running, religious or race This one sunk without a trace Stick to the day job, this isnt for you Some like you in spades, but only the few But in life you have to give everything a try Maybe not stand-up comedy The shudders The snarles The stares Wow, Just watch me die
