"unfunny" poems
You looked me in the eye With the same smile you gave me A long time ago. You let me order your coffee for you I knew which one It's still the same From a long time ago. I laughed about the jokes you told me You laughed at how unfunny Mine were And you playfully hit me I frowned, you laughed, I laughed, you laughed again And said sorry Just like you did A long time ago. The worst of it all Was that when your hand Accidentally brushed mine I shivered Just like I did A long long time ago. -- Eleanor

A Long Time Ago
I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown Who worked in a circus that came through town. His shoes were too big and his hat was too small, But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all. He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes, He had a green dog and a thousand balloons. He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall, But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all. And every time he did a trick, Everyone felt a little sick. And every time he told a joke, Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke. And every time he lost a shoe, Everyone looked awfully blue. And every time he stood on his head, Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!" And every time he made a leap, Everybody fell asleep. And every time he ate his tie, Everyone began to cry. And Cloony could not make any money Simply because he was not funny. One day he said, "I'll tell this town How it feels to be an unfunny clown." And he told them all why he looked so sad, And he told them all why he felt so bad. He told of Pain and Rain and Cold, He told of Darkness in his soul, And after he finished his tale of woe, Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no, They laughed until they shook the trees With "Hah-Hah-Hahs" and "Hee-Hee-Hees." They laughed with howls and yowls and shrieks, They laughed all day, they laughed all week, They laughed until they had a fit, They laughed until their jackets split. The laughter spread for miles around To every city, every town, Over mountains, 'cross the sea, From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee. And soon the whole world rang with laughter, Lasting till forever after, While Cloony stood in the circus tent, With his head drooped low and his shoulders bent. And he said,"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT - I'M FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT." And while the world laughed outside. Cloony the Clown sat down and cried.

The sky wept the sky wept the sky wept the sky wept while I leapt, while I leapt, well I leapt thru fire. Gasp sigh perspire. give me your tired huddled and heavy laden that loud light holds us up high in his left hand and will be ********* man. we'll be ********* man. Harvest moon incited madness granjero in a gas mask destined to manifest the liberation front. watch me kiss the sun. thirtytwo one, I am done. canvas demon, lower the lights &arise.; like who wouldn't wanna kiss the sky... Miss 'My,my,my' meet Major fleet week now yall dance and drink each other's blood doesn't that sound like fun isn't it so sweet wonder some praise the priest ***** mothers ******* sons, my lachrymose lack of passion weighs a **** fantastic ton, I wish someone would come & divvy me a dole of fresh faced inspiration and vintage faded soul... I am mobile homosapien. I am not your friend simply a lazy ally, I reside in the unfunny pages. Dated and bathed in flame, given back to the air where I came from. humdrum funk, under the ugly sun feelin lovely in the slums. Undone undone

Venus in the Sky.
I was raised by a pack of fools Who proclaim Caucasians are the best. And are glad to fight, at the drop of a hint To put the whole matter to the test. They have an entire joke routine And descriptive names they repeat In minimizing and insisting that Their right to decent treatment isn’t real. There are references to some animals And unfunny comments about color. The statements about characteristics Of body and features always go together With a special set of gross anecdotes To cover any kind of non-Christian belief. And the refusal to consider equality As a decent attitude stands in bright relief. Beneath all this horror, not very deep, Lies a sickening river of hate and fear That fails to improve as education is Rejected year after disgusting year. Pointing out the error of their ways Might earn you a punch in the eye But the bigot hangs on to their rage And never gives fellowship a try. The American Bigot claims to be A staunch Christian all the way through Which forces them to hate and cheat And lie as much as Jesus would do. Of course, we know that Jesus was A preacher of love and acceptance But it seems that bigots never quite Made that Jesus’ acquaintance. So, here we can see we need to add Some terms to this kind of individual Whose relationship to peace and love Is at best slight, scant and residual. We also need to append to their titles Of masters of anger fear and prejudice The unhealthy pallor of indecency, Dishonesty, inhumanity and cowardice.

This is a formal complaint to one Cupid on behalf of the population of earth. We find that you've become somewhat, how can we put it mildly.... unsavory ever since you started drinking. We've found that you have not been taking your job seriously at all since that time We were understanding at first. Your job? It's not an easy one. It tolerates almost no failure, and requires both physical and mental capacity that is beyond what most of us can spare. However...we feel that the alcohol is affecting your judgement and character in a way that we can no longer accept. Below, we've listed the particularly heinous abuses of your power 1. Taking bets on what you can make people fall in love with. John is now smitten with a cactus while Jenny can't stay away from the inflatable Santa Claus on the Morgans' lawn. 2. Having very attractive women fall in love for your...erm...personal pleasure. That's just offensive 3. Having members of the same family fall in love. The vulgarity of it all is just appalling! It's an ****** epidemic! 4. Shooting your arrows at Rhinoceroses and then laughing as they charge a poor unsuspecting person is not funny. 5. Likewise, shooting an unsuspecting person and having them fall in love with a Rhinoceros who doesn't reciprocate is equally unfunny 6. Last, but not least...Please fix the Republican Candidates. Mitt Romney and Rick ******** are trying to get married next week. While I'm happy that they are now "for" gay marriage, this cannot be tolerated. So? Do you have anything to say for yourself? Is that alcohol I smell on your breath? You don't even care, do you? Well...we have no choice but to revok---OW! Oh dear.

Lumpy Dump and Denso Pence Decided to run for President Even though, they neither had An idea what that title meant. So Lumpy Dump and Denso Pence Both thought it would be lots of fun Dump because of the money he'd make And Pence for fame when they had won. Lumpy Dump seemed to think The title made him King of the Earth Denso Pence hoped to show Exactly what he was really worth. Neither one of them realized They'd have to follow all the rules Which they were not a mind to do Because they were both such fools. Lumpy Dump strung words together He didn't make all that much sense But he felt he was doing just fine, as He sounded brighter than Denso Pence. Lumpy Dump thought he was slim Not dumpy like a big old bag of fat. Denso Pence thought he was bright. That shows where these to were at. Let's all hope this is all we hear Of these two unfunny circus clowns After Hillary kicks their ***** And runs them both out of town. We have already had such bad times And need good times to commence Which will not happen unless we nix Lumpy Dump and that idiot Denso Pence.

LUMPY DUMP AND DENSO PENCE
I tried not to look at it, But I couldn't help myself, The blue sky burying me completely, The sun shedding visibility On the edible chanterelles-- Little fungi, little mold spores Treated as food, soft and porous Sponges, fragile like egg shells. We hunt for the orange gleam Showing through the duff As if we are savages, Lost in our search, Forgetting our state. I'd forgotten what a sight they were: Unfunny clowns always having Arguments over who gets what space-- Quality family time. Every home is a miniature dictatorship. Now, savages rule our thoughts And actions; they fight For control; they Pump Estrogen into our System so that we Will not fight back. The dream is not a dream. The Police are a privilege For those who can buy it. All this was a week after The dust settled. There was no music. Even the chants of Buddhists Were silenced, the replacing hum One of screams And gunshots. The sound of Your enemies being sautéed Is what loss truly is: Accounts holding our Humanity Have been depleted. The only unclosed door Leads to Egypt. When I think of it now, What I remember is Debt. Once, I saw A college student Buying cheap ramen With a grin. And, in a dream once, There was no sound, No color. Everything Was the same—taste, Touch, smell. Red lipstick marks On a shirt would not Remain. And hippies, With their tie-dye clothes Were just working stiffs, Looking out a window To see Brick and mortar. They say, “This is your police state. This is your Haunted House, Your personal Winchester House With no exits. This is Your nightmare, Your stench. These are your maggots in your eyes. This is what you want.” We listen. I do not want to be The kind of person Who makes it okay To want to die.

i’m seven years old, waiting to get old. i can’t wait to make my own decisions: eat sweets before lunchtime, buy every barbie out there, run outside when i want to. i can’t wait to be old. i’m fourteen years old, waiting to get old. i cannot wait to be myself finally: be independent without my parents, wear what i want, go to every place i want to, say every curse word i want to. i can’t wait to be old. i’m seventeen years old, scared of getting old. i’m scared of becoming eighteen years old: to go to university by myself, having to move out by myself, to pay all the bills i don’t even know how to, to be adult which seems so tiring and stressful. i don’t want to get old. i’m eighteen years old, trying to enjoy my youth while it’s here. i’m taking the most while i can: taking spontaneous trips to my grandma, going to the cinema at 10 in the evening, listening to all the mellow albums i can, dancing in the grass, wearing all the dresses i have. i’m trying to be young. i’m all the years to come, trying not get old. i’m a little scared of death and a little scared of getting old: of being unfunny, of not smiling anymore at beautiful sunsets, of not enjoying myself anymore, of not understanding children anymore, of not being myself anymore. i’m young and old and everything in between. i'm accepting being that.

**** these annoying little itches Just go away, stop playing tricks You're acting like 9th street's ***** ******* Who act like they're tired of just ******* ***** You start with being a little tickle A quick scratch to attempt satisfaction Nope, you're too fickle & are becoming a wretched irritation I swear it's an invisible hair I feel the ******* I know it's there Tricking me by switching spots **** your evil plots Just when I thought you finally gave in TWO MORE PLACES ITCH, I ******* can't win! It's the ceiling fan that's to blame Blowing the air with no shame But I got to keep the fan going Without it, I'll have a sweat layer profusely glowing .....Wait a minute, is this really happening You swear I'm not dreaming or imagining The itching has finally called it quits WhoooHoo, no more scratching fits I don't think I could handle that much more Just as annoying as it was before The ghost hair loves to pop up at random I can't stand them With all their UNFUNNY pranks Such a pleasant visit, Geeez thanks!

When people twist my words The flip flop, flip flop of flip flops When people SIIINNNGGG with the radio Small children wiping their nose wherever they can Getting left out Having to wait for Christmas Ha ha ha’s of unfunny things ***** elbows Getting mad over nothing Now knowing what people are talking about People trying to control my life Ventriloquists Having to work in a group My peers mocking and making fun of me When I get beat like an egg Going through a dry spell with my writing People not doing what I asked them to do Spinach, Brussel Sprouts, and the gas they give me Being treated un=ly

If you're ever feeling blue, sketch a smile onto your face Draw the curve and dimples, too But all in pencil, just in case Just never sketch a smile in pen For soon the time could come A day or two or three or ten When one starts to feel dumb **** the ever-smile That can never be wiped, Or scraped, or covered fully For the mockingish smirk Would start to look like a **** And the smiler is now a big bully And when a dangerous bloke Asks Ink Face for smoke And the latter hasn't got any, The smile of pen is mistook for a poke And the joke? Well, it's sadly unfunny

I've laughed the good laugh and I've giggled and snorted and I've loved and been loved beyond fear and beyond beauty and I've been broken and shattered and lost and found a reason to laugh the good laugh again despite the pain and misery of life and I've been stupid and done stupid and I'm not done with my own stupidity yet and I'll laugh at the joke of my unfunny life and I'll laugh with death at the end of it all and it will be a good laugh at a good life that had been filled with good love and good misery and good company that knew how to laugh and giggle and snort despite the pain and suffering of living a good life

the good laugh
You would think A fool who always lies Would finally surmise He is known to be unwise In most other people’s eyes. You would think A snake in the grass Would not have an *** But it comes to pass That some are all *** You would think A pile of dog manure Would smell himself for sure And that would insure To show that he's not pure. You would think A **** so full of hate Would not aspire to be great And instead would wait Until humility reached his gate. You would think Being socially quite blind No ability to be quite kind Would someday soften the rind Of almost any creep you’d find. You would think With so many tramps around And unfunny political clowns Someone would knock him down; Teach him something on the ground. You would think Some lesson would be due To give this reprobate a clue And help him know what to do, But that might never come true.

YOU WOULD THINK
I’ve dreamed I was falling asleep And shaking myself to keep awake. There’s only so much weirdness And crap a poor dreamer can take. It was all involved with friends you see That I don’t see now, because they Were stranger than my dreams Or maybe I was. Back in the day. I would be partying with them And walking remembered streets But I’d look around and everybody Found other people to go meet. Then suddenly the Hollywood I knew and loved for twenty years Became Kansas City boulevards And Hollywood totally disappears. Or maybe I’m coming home At the end of a tiring long day And look around, find myself Saying, no way. No effing way; This is not my apartment! It’s fine, I kind of like the place But someone is pulling a joke The housekeeping is a disgrace. Then someone would come in Who I was supposed to know And this chick is my roommate? Oh, no. This woman has got to go. But before I can get my head Wrapped around standing up My family is there too, cooking Handing me a steaming hot cup. Well,, now I can’t offend them So, I sit my *** back down. I don’t want to seem ungrateful Like some unfunny kind of clown. ****** I leave to go for a walk Thinking I am in Tucson but then This is the Country Club Plaza And I’m back in Kansas City again. One time I was building something, Under an expensive sort of contract But none of the sub-contractors Or the assistants knew how to act. They were putting the thing together Like a Rube Goldberg machine. I was going ballistic on them all; The ugliest thing I had ever seen. These are the dreamworlds for me On a regular, but often bizarre basis. Streets change while walking And people I know change their faces. Or I am tasked to do something Involving technology or looming mass I end up getting no help at all And wind up falling right on my ***

i'm not interested 
in living anymore 
i don't want to die living just doesn’t hold much interest for me i don't feel good 
i don't feel happy only tired 
tired tired
 always tired i live in a perpetual nothingness i can never find words they lodge in the back of my throat and spiral out flat 
may as well cut my vocal chords out and replace them with yarn maybe i’ll be able to string sentences together then i’m buried in layers of ink and skin they allow me to close my eyes and fall away into my own personal oblivion where it's dark and jazzy elevator music plays in the background and there’s no sharp pings under numb detachment there's a different breed of darkness to my oblivion it's soft and shadowy rippling over all my anxieties like a velvet tide light shines in dusty shafts from no set direction it doesn't illuminate anything it’s nicer that way i forgot what happiness feels like not this halfway happiness that’s induced by comfort food and fuzzy blankets but real happiness that comes from deep inside of your being and spirals and glows this is just a long complaint 
hem hem
 observation about me
 my life
 is it really mine? 
i feel so detached from it 
i spend more time in dreams than i do in it sweeping castles of words and swing sets that swing themselves 
can i just leave? fade away into my oblivion the one with the jazz music and the infinite velvet walls i've come pretty close may as well go all the way i'm an inadequate mess of negativity i can't function quite right anymore unfunny angry pathetic boring i'm me and i don't hate me hate is a strong word i'm just tired a slowly graying towel long used and recently wrung-out hung up to dry dripping mediocracy onto a standard tile floor ha i'll show myself out

So here you are Grief... I've evaded you so long. I always knew you'd come for me. Perhaps you waited til I was strong. For years I've danced around you. Purposely putting on my facade. Hoping I could appease you, With a few tears now and again. But you won't go, will you?! Without taking what you're due.. Only brutal honesty, will ever free me from you. So here's what I've done to cheat you, Out of what was yours. I've swallowed up my anger, Lived my shame behind closed doors. I settled for feined indifference, Hostile, and surly glares. I never told them of their blindness. Or insisted my story I must share. I've mastered laughing at the unfunny, Made the best jokes at my expense. Cuz lord knows if your not laughing, Your alone without any friends. I'm super good at pleasing.. And will not protect myself. I'll work to make others need me. Be overly concerned at their offense. I'll loose track of my own boundaries. Cuz did I tell you how I flirt? Helps me seal the pain inside. Helps me cover up the hurt. So Grief lets have at it!! I promise I won't hide. We both know its time. To unlock that girl I left behind.

Enter Grief
She has never taken a silver spoon to the contents of her head, or buried her body in a lover's empty bed.   She is not the old jacket hanging on the back of the chair- but the inhabitant, a throne's rightful heir. I imagine a life where there are no ghosts in the mirror; when friends talk about their fathers, there's no bile in her throat- the thought of spilling the contents of her stomach is an unfunny joke. She doesn't change into her clothes as if a gun ha d been pulled, or dream of Icarus’ voice, “Jump” he goads She looks both ways before crossing the road. Her fingers don't pry at a laceration's half-hearted mend or dig into her womb when the wind howls for her end. Substances don’t brush away her thoughts, Or birth them again. This stranger version of me- probably so easy to understand- not a martyr in the least. However, I imagine without these callous grooves in my flesh; I couldn't figure out how to fill the empty spaces of others or hide myself just right under the covers.

An alternate universe where I am whole
Donald, what is wrong with you? You’re really acting strange. It’s like your mind has measles Or bubonic plague or mange. Something sick is going on Down deep inside your mind. It seems to make you stupid As well as deaf to facts and blind. Maybe sometime decades back You might have made some sense But we have watched a long time now And it hasn’t happened since. You don’t seem to be able to Tell the facts from the lies. You are getting stranger daily We can see it in your eyes. You always were a reprobate A fact you couldn’t really hide. Your responses were so obvious We saw the truth you kept inside. You looked down on women, Looked at them as just toys. You carefully referred to gays As naughty twisted boys. You never had much use for blacks Except for menial kinds of labor. You certainly didn’t want any of them To end up as your neighbor. And now you want control of The Presidential nuclear codes. Do you want to sell them off To buy stuff to put up your nose? No, Donald, you are sick as hell And we’ll be glad when you are gone. The rest of us have had enough And think you should move on. Maybe you can get a job Playing high stakes liar’s poker. That might fit a guy like you: A dangerous and unfunny joker.

DONALD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
For laughter I came here for the same I stayed 'til it became vitriolic and unfunny my shape shifting to suit uncomfortable and not recognised I shed the farce and walked away..

You’re a smack down Kick-around, clueless clown That tells unfunny jokes And runs with the blokes That put up with your antics And your busted semantics Because they think someday Things might swing your way And they can profit by association With a human abomination That enjoys investing atrocities With scarifying velocity On the halt and the lame; Running opportunistic games On those who cannot defend; World without end, amen. But heaven forfend That you might have a friend Who seems a holy prophet But does not seek for profit And acolytes to their cause; A bogus Santa Claus Who leeches from the people In his church without a steeple, Just microwave towers Sprouting like ugly flowers To spread out the message So we can read every passage That boil down to a sermon To send money to this vermin Your bund proclaims a messiah When he is really a pariah Nobody has yet recognized He’s so well disguised. But, be aware, polecat Some know what your at And what you are doing I nothing more than accruing That which you can bank. You have nobody to thank For the outcome you inherit From the outcome you assume When your calumnies bloom Into the realities that appear When the truth draws near And tars and feathers you And when your victims do What they should have done along Was reject your ways gone wrong And found a rail lying around To ride your **** out of town.

ARE YOU LISTENING, TINHORN?
Winking, Stinking and Clod, Each with a gross ugly *** Each a miserable  thief With greed past belief And all were hatched out of a pod. Two hundred silly baboons, So like unfunny cartoons, Overpaid and mindless, They call them a congress. We won’t be forgetting them soon. Floppy, Tipsy and Cottonhead Three bunnies talented in bed. They rake in the gold Doing what they’re told Repeating to no one what’s said. Hakey fakey Doctor Duck, Gives glowing reports for a buck. Not much they’ve done Was anything like fun But his hush money fills a truck. Liar, liar, pants on fire How does your bank account grow? We hastily must warn The banks are foreign So Americans have no way to know.

WORSERY RHYMES 2018
*She works all day in a dead end job And the money is not the best The boss is a bit of a pervy **** Keeps staring at her chest. Laughing too loudly, at unfunny things, And tipping her the wink, Hiding the lines of his wedding ring Or so he likes to think. Too-tight jeans and garish shirts And teeth unnaturally white. She'd like to kick him where it hurts Even dreams of it at night. He offers to take her to a bar, Wherever she'd like to go And he'd drive her home in his flashy car, So nobody needs to know. She nods her head and smiles her thanks And makes a discreet phone call. Her boss is as thick as two short planks and is about to lose his ***** They enter the bar, he sees his wife And knows he's out of luck. He's either going to lose his life, Or his wife's going to make him a ******

Apple core, Baltimore Some people know the score They know very well what This little verse is for. I don’t have a clue, you see. It is totally a cypher to me. It’s a snappy verse, obviously, But is nothing more than poesy. Icky wicky bother and blame Practical jokes are bad games. Ask me once I’ll say my name; Every time it will be the same. It’s a kind of little kid rhyme That lost its meaning over time. Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Kept up with the chronological climb. But the other is one of those things Like popsicles and onion rings That living in the USA brings But leave me standing in the wings. Bumpy jumpy, bouncing around Trying to stay on solid ground Is chancy at best, I have found. Its reasoning is not that sound. Olly olly oxen free is another The invention of someone or other To help kids call in their brothers When the game is curtailed by mother, Or someone decides it’s done, Or maybe just no longer fun, And those hiding one by one Can come in home on the run. Icky wicky bother and blame Practical jokes are bad games. Ask me once I’ll say my name; Every time it will be the same. Pinch you owe me a coke Is another sadly unfunny joke Created by some sadistic bloke That should have got his nose broke But turned into a game that’s used Whenever people become amused By saying the same word the other used. I don’t like games that leave me contused. Icky wicky bother and blame Practical jokes are bad games. Ask me once I’ll say my name; Every time it will be the same. Bumpy jumpy, bouncing around Trying to stay on solid ground Is chancy at best, I have found. Its reasoning is not that sound.

I know you are a liar With a suitcase full of lies. You’re a peddler of snake oil To those who are unwise. You only deal in falsehoods No matter who you hurt. To me you’re two feet lower Than pocketful of dirt. You’re a gold-plated tinhorn Not really worth a hoot. You’re like a old plow horse Too miserable to even shoot. Half-deaf and selectively blind You’re an stremely unfunny joke And not really good to anyone Especially decent moral folk. I’ve seen guys like you before They make me want to hurl I could tell you immediately Not to leave you with any girl. You are the kind of criminal Only beloved by a nut. Someone should take you aside And kick you in your crooked **** Your evil twisted lying self Make me lose my religion. I hate it every time you make More suckers into pigeons. I can’t stand to see your face Let alone to hear you speak And I am sure your followers Have minds that are weak. They’ll find out in a year or two All the stuff we have foretold When fans as well as the rest of us Are freezing out in the cold And all his cronies are safe In the corporate welfare he creates While we honest people pay the bills And starve at his penthouse gate. I’ve seen guys like you before They make me want to hurl I could tell you immediately Not to leave you with any girl. You are the kind of criminal Only beloved by a nut. Someone should take you aside And kick you in your crooked ****

SNAKE IN THE GRASS
I think it's funny how you string me along thinking I believe everything that flows out of your mouth which just silently screams falseness I think it's funny how you think you can pick me up and drop me again like a child being reckless with a toy not realising its true worth I think it's funny how you think your lies are disguised as promises and you think I won't see behind the mask of your priorities I think it's funny how you claim to be friends with me but really, others are more appealing to you whilst I'm just a ghost in your background I think it's funny how you tug little pieces of my heart away because I believed you were my friend but you do not care about my heartstrings snapping I think it's funny how your little stabs of supposed superiority are reflected in the pinpricks which you force into my back which deflated all my confidence and self worth I think it is very unfunny how all of these pointless metaphors are what I feel our friendship finally became
