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.

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.

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”!

I love each quip that I let slip,
Til you someday repeat it;
Though I did bag that corny gag,
Must I ,– MUST I eat it?

A pain, the chap who hears my joke
And never, never gets it.
Still, I prefer him to the bloke
Whose too -soon laugh upsets it!

If being brief is most of wit–
And I’m almost convinced of it–
Will I be brief? I hope to smile
I’ll.
