This, where the punch line should be
Lots of empty space and me
They crowd around for hyped event
Time and care and gasp for more air
Was it worth what they spent

This, where you courtesy smile
Nervously laugh, fill with bile
Shuffle your feet and turn with grace
Excuse yourself remove yourself
Show pity upon your face

This, where you explode in laughter
Three beats off now is after
People look at you in fear
A good joke seems when man is broke
Isn’t that why we're here?
