The Telling Way


Telling jokes for story’s sake
A wish to make a listener laugh
Surprising tales with daft details
Where the truth gets cut in half

Some jokes whet the appetite
Demanding crackers served up dry
Rousing minds with punchline finds
Served with sparklers in the eye

There are some folk who rarely laugh
They are the jewels that joker’s prize
For their demands ironically 
Hold the key to yarn’s disguise
