in the shadows

It is a dark
and stormy night;
I've wanted often times
to write those opening lines,
the words always make me laugh;
tonight I need a simple laugh
and not too much is funny.

Don't it though!

And you're right, not too much is funny,
but you still managed to make me smile.

Good stuff icebox~
