A Clown can be Lovely

A clown is cackling so hard while I'm wasted off 

whatever that kid in the black sweatshirt was willing

to part with for a small exchange of cash,

The clown just heard a joke that I also

over heard in the bar while I'm sipping on well scotch,

I prefer the good stuff but this gets me that bitter drunk I prefer,

The man who regaled the joke is laughing so hard he could barely tell it,

"Why did the semen cross the road!?? Bahahah!"

The clown, who is also smashed happy, responds,

"I'm no good at guessing, you asshole! Just tell me!"

The man takes a long draw off his drink and says 

real subtle and smooth so as to not ruin the punchline,

"Because I put the wrong sock on this morning"

They both erupt into a Pompeii of laughter

as I quietely chuckle into my scotch,

People are great sometimes,

The way people treat each other,

Or the way pepole can get over face paint

from some guy who hours earlier was entertaining 

your childrens birthday party,

Now here he is, laughing at dick jokes,

Life is interesting and wonderful

and also the worst thing to ever

happen to any of us
