What is funny?

Right!   This time i’m writing a poem that’s not too serious

Fine … not just rhyming comedy though - gotta have some gravitas to it

Oohh-kaay - but don’t be  ramming ya viewpoint down everyone’s throat, either.  Lighter tone - quirky - 

Ham-it-up-a-bit!  

Yeah, don’t go berserk though …    

Something that might work on the slam-circuit …

Nudges the listener … not bludgeons …  

Maaate!  Nice Mind Lattice.  I’m ..   

Ohr wait:   gotta make it rhyme   -  so the judges’ll know it’s poetry …

& don’t forget ta repeat a line - to amplify significance

& don’t forget ta repeat a line to amplify significance 

 

Now  -  let's get to:  THE Essence:

(a) What is funny?

(b) How to write in a funny way

Before we delve into these …  kernels of truth … First Rule: 

Don’t be mentioning THE C-word.           &/Or:   THE V-word  

We’ve all moved on

Got it.

Breaks our Golden Rule:   not funny  

Weelll … technically  …  it’s:   funny peculiar …

How’s that ?

Bat Lady  … & … Batman:  cook-up-a: Super Bat Virus … in:   

THE Bat Lab!   Using real nicknames they’d already given themselves …

Holy Pandemic Potential! Hope security was tight …

Yeah-nope.  Next thing - God-unwilling - Super Bat Virus exits THE Building … into:   Gotham-Globe

Whoops … 

No-de-wurries mate - our errant knight:  THE Virus Hunter  rides to: 

THE Rescue  

Tells/sells THE World:       T’was Pangolins that done it ! 

& btw:  China’s brand of Totalitarianism is:    “open & transparent”

Huhhuhhuh!      Yeah-but  - you’d have to admit …it did catapult us into a Dystopian Movie  -  including:  Draconian Restrictions on: all Freedoms -  

State-sponsored Disinformation …  Uhm … reaping of Record Corporate Profits off the back-of-that …   ahrr … AI Surveillance - literally up our gazoos  …  That’s dark  bro  - interesting-dark - don’t get me wrong - but:  not funny

Agreed - AI anal surveillance is too much.   When you say surveillance up our gazoos you mean the anal-swabs in China?  Or the sewerage monitoring here

Both.  Fucked if i know how they do that sewerage measurement shit. Do you?

No idea

Then let’s not forget the 15 million killed  as collateral -  n counting … 

Downwards … weirdly enough … Latest W.H.O/Google  messaging says Covid’s officially: Over 

With only 6.8 mil dead -  THE: Final Tally  -  supposedly

Yeah  -  even so  -  not a helluva lotta laughs in that   …   right?

Most of em were:         old & frail …
