A Lack of Humor

A Lack of Humor

What's wrong with you?

Do you not understand?

Your sense of humor

Is utterly bland.

Do you not appreciate

My jest or witticism?

Because I do not admire

Your "anti-joke" criticism. 

Apparently you must not

Enjoy sarcasm or puns.

Maybe that is why

No one thinks you are fun.

Try being more open

To funny things and stuff

And then you might be

Less annoying or gruff.

I find your lacking 

Humor an offense.

How could a human

Clearly be so dense?

So if you do not like

Or understand my short gag

Will you kindly shut up, please.

Keep quiet and don't nag.

Sometimes people take even the simplest joke or the most innocent remark the wrong way.  Do people not understand sarcasm?  Do people not have a sense of humor?  Quit taking life so seriously.  Laugh at yourself and the world sometimes.  It's healthy for you.  :-P  Stop being such a humdrum and enjoy what humor is in the world and all the hilariousness it has to offer.

Dear annoyance...

I really think this next poem I wrote is cute.  And VERY true.  Cats tend to not enjoy being bothered by annoying things.  Particularly puppies, small children, kittens, etc.  I'm not saying that all cats are like this, but you know how cats can be moody when it is during a time when they are wanting to be left alone.  That's what this poem is about.  I got some inspiration from a little doodle that my sister did and sent on the back of a card she sent me last summer.  It has a little girl carrying a rather grumpy cat awkwardly.  You can tell by the look on the cat's face that it did not particularly want to be picked up.  So, to go along with the poem, I've also added a picture of my cat, Tuna.  In this picture I had just put on her brand new jingle bell collar.  She didn't seem happy once I was finished.  Hahaha

Dear annoyance…

I do not like you.

Now go away.

I do not want

To run and play.

I don’t have time

For games and toys.

Besides, you’re making

Too much noise.

I’d much prefer

A quiet nap

Or some tasty

Morsel or scrap.

Some catnip and bed

That ‘s warm and soft.

No.  I won’t share.

Scram!  Buzz off.

A feline needs

Her beauty sleep.

Therefore, be quiet.

Don’t make a peep.

I do not like you.

Can’t you see?

So, please, will you

Stop pestering me?
