Twice-told Tale

It isn’t that your joke’s a bore–
It’s not that I don’t get it:
It’s just that I have laughed before–
Everytime I’ve met it.

Overdose of Jocose

The gag I spill, I love, until
You tell it, then I find it’s true
We ought to sneeze at that old wheeze
“Can’t eat your cake–and have it too”!
