OK, here's my second humorous poem! And it's really not half bad.. my best work yet!

Three men were standing all lined up in a row
the first had plenty of hair to grow
the second also had a very nice mop
but the third had shaved his whole crop
the three of them were all to be shot
Those three men didn't like the thought
The executioner had a great desire
to hurry and yell "Ready, aim, fire!"
The second felt as if he was going to cry
"Wait!" he yelled. "Ain't there another way we can die?"
The executioner smiled a toothy grin
He didn't quite know where to begin
"You can have your heads chopped off or be burned at the stake!"
Throse three men thought that was a mistake
The first decided to shrug it off
"Hey, why don't you cut my head off?"
The third, who knew what a mess that would make
said, "Bah, burn me at the stake!"
The second who thought that was a bad way to die
stopped shaking long enough to ask "But, why?"
And the reply of the third, who had shaved his crop
was: "Hot steak is better than cold chop!"

As Foghorn Leghorn would say...

"It's a JOKE, son!"

"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work . . . I want to achieve it through not dying." -Woody Allen

Very fun read!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Wow! A deviation from the chronic downcastness (hahaha, that's not a word!) of this forum...it almost makes it look like we're a bunch of depressed teenagers!

Haha... this was a real treat!  Thanks for the laugh, Ben.  Teen #4 finally has a comic relief poet!  We needed one of those.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
