"Funny" by deathbyzen

It's not easy being funny.

People expect things of you. They come to you down in the mouth, looking for a laugh. Most of the time you can oblige them, but it's hard creating something from nothing. I'm not a music box that you can wind up and expect to hear a tune. At least say "please."

I guess it comes from watching too much television. Sitcoms really mold a kid who spends half his day on the couch. That, and a willingness to tell the truth to people's faces.

Anyway, it's easy to ask for a laugh. It's just hard to deliver sometimes.

I'm done writing

Well done!
