Funny...Yeah, Right

How can I write something

If it doesn't flow organically

For me?

Like trying to force

A large square

Into a small circular

Opening.

Just won't happen.

And yet

That's what I'm doing

Trying to write

Something funny.

When every fibre

In my soul says

"No".

Screaming and shouting

About the injustice of this

I'm about to inflict

Upon the world.

My muse

Threatens to runaway

As I torment her

With my lame lines.

Which I claim

To be humorous

And not horror filled.

An acerbated sigh

Leaves my lips

As I delete

Those verses.

Author's Note

Having trouble writing anything funny, today.

Trying to "be" funny is a hard thing, something at which even the most adept humorists balk. But, finding the humor in your everyday is where funny lives. Watch your cats; I'm sure they'll give you funny. Watch people on the streets -- they're hilarious! Watch what they do when they think no one is looking. Read some P.G.Wodehouse!

Momzilla, I have to be, in a particular mood, to write that emotion. Right now, it's anger, exhaustion and frustration, as some idiot pulled the fire alarm, due to a spat with his girlfriend, at 1 am, this morning.

See, that's funny. Write a caustic castigation of the clod! Oo! With alliteration! :D

A caustic castigation of a clod who had a spurious spat with his sweetheart!

Not today, Momzilla. Rather, hit the pillow and sleep, than write.

Okay. Pleasant dreams.
