Stand-up Comedian
As he took the stage
In his spotted shirt
Blue jeans faded so
And Nikes that worked.
He had confidence
Of materials brought.
Traffic such a mess
A wife over-wrought.
Just how kids act up
Parenting a chore
Political correctness
And much more.
The joke lineup
He had stored quite well
And body language
Could anyone tell?
Twenty five minutes
Flowed like silk so soft.
Though the earlier phone call
Should have sent him off.
