Indefinite Humor

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
Apparently, it seems to me,
My silliness is not
As recognized to other eyes
Who read my stuff and thought

"Why did he say his stuff that way?
Did he try to offend
The readers of his plastic love
And when will it all end?"

That never was my way because
I'm not that kind of guy.
But since again, I cannot win
At humor I won't try!
