we like to laugh
though it is indescribably
sad..

you don´t see the joke?
me..?
that´s it!

ii

at a boot sale i got
a little book of laughter
on the cover

a group of pentioners play
a game of stretch over assorted
colour-

one man cries cheat
as a woman uses her *******
as they reach the floor.

humour differentiates us
from fauna
so they say..

on the whole, i´d rather
be-a bat or a giraffe
or a lion..

iv

one time lily
i was between a lion and
a camel..

i got to know them
quite well
surprising enough

they were quite happy
they seem to say
how awful it was in the jungle..
