Rules in a comedy club

Have you ever come across in play 
A funny angry comedian begrudged 
With a chip on his shoulders, a poet enraged

It is never a good idea as ideas go  
To sit in the firing line in the front row  
In front of a stage before a comedian present 

That is just asking for trouble, believe me 
I have seen many, turn into subjects 
To be discussed on point, for other's laughter 

These are the rules to keep 
If one finds one self 
In a comedy club 

1) No  shiny ball heads in visual view it calls for attention 
2)No average looking man should sit next to a good looker 
3) Calm down on the makeup, no competing on the joker's looks 
4) A long hair extension spells Brazilian do, go figure what comes after 
5) A frown in a comedy club is just asking for it 
6)Do not over laugh it brings attention to you 
7) Do not get up, go out and come back in again.... 
          That only means two things, number 1 or 2 
          and both have enough material to give
8) If you are sitting around a table don't keep asking for more drinks 
9) Don't whisper to a friend next to you, while a set is being performed  
10) Most of all if you are self-conscious or quick tempered avoid the comedy club 

Like Mad Men

Officially I have taken a back seat right 
It's still hard times right 
 It's austerity and the banks rates still high like mad, right     


And countries hold default bundles like party gift wraps   
Like bad companies all in the red  
Like the rest of us, all in the red  


 But every one knows  
I am still the mad man, right?
With the antics to please, the conspiracy theory right 


To make your belly laugh loud on prompt    
On tragedy humour expressed, humorously laughing  
It's like visiting a comedy club, don't sit at the front  

And when I am down on thoughts, like writers block

I make concussion with words, and find left overs   

Dinners too, people says the best on the block, right?! 

You know people talk, people they talk
And my name is not far from words in line   
Like alphabets recitals, I am a renegade and so are you      


Forget about the politicians, 
At the best of time they are self centred  
At the rest of time, they try to deceive us  


Sewn in between the two with ego threads  
Mad men, with bad habits
"My people they say in phrases", whose people?


I say, mate,  just forget the politicians 
They know not what the common man 
Calls troubles to be dealt with   


With educated majority 
Still on stand by, to catch the train of ambitions 
From jobs promised, I say forget about the politicians 


And I told you, like I told you so
I make concussions, sweet with humour   
There you have it, the best to be had 

Wash your own plates after, mate 

Do you see any servants around here?

I think not , "mad men" 

What Is Ska

Ska, ska, ska,

Like a stone dropped  
On birds gather, together 
Scattering flights, of the fearful fright
Felt as chill on instinct run


On a buzz word, ska, dra 
Scabby, scobby, snoopy! 
And you know, you have to run 
On scot, dobby, dabby, doo..


Then came, a name,
A place in mind
                                         Scarborough,
Some where in land 
In the Queen's land set 


Who invented words in English  
 And brought a thousands more
In language used adopted from others 
To be, as spoken, in words said, writing 


Some so confusing, perplexing  
Cometh here-forth, on prerogative  
The big ones, in said words, used 
Scholars and pretentious, favoured rhyme


I like words, set in tunes
It just rings, in synchronised bells 
Like dominoes fall, holding hands 
On processions, off my tongue
                                                       Best on poetry rhyme


Not with names, with names
Sometimes forgetful, some names
I get so, very, very confused wrong  
In mix up, fix up, shipshape

Jig saw puzzle, puzzling me
To have found myself 
In the dog's house comfort
A few times sat, for slip of tongue..


On goes, the battle of reference made 
Who as thus, invented the three letter word..
On an Island jam, Jamaican clam 
Jamaica, Jamaica here in Jamaica 


#Ska, ska, ska,
And what it is, 
In meaning held,
Do tell, oh brother, do tell 


#Ska ska ska
While pondered minds 
Wonder around  for enlightenment 
Bless me here with knowledge known  


#Ska , ska, ska,
I will go on playing, my trumpet jazz
In search another for words ryhme  
Ska, in words, to be used


#Ska, ska, ska,
That rhymes on tongue twist
And starts  dance moves,
Ska, for dance on dance floors..


#Ska, ska, ska,
#pa da, ba da, pa da, ba da, 
#pan,  pan, pam, pam
#taaa, ta, taaa, daaa, da, daaaa, 
#rada, bum, bum ...
#Ska  ska ska..

The West Bank (Just 4 jokes)

 

Gaza wall by Bansky 

Upon the arid, sand in the East  

On platform stage, where once set on earth 

Paradise, was first made mention of 
In promises made, look for the signs 

And said to be, the land premier 
In promises made, the promise land 

Yet where so much red, in waste so many 
Has seen, since been poured 

Was it for jokes, just for jokes 

For the gods need be 
Entertained by man..
And watch the death of an innocent child 

Then men alike, forgetting history 

Cast dice like fools, to gauge with greed  

On gamblers tables, black (death) or red (bleed)

Not to be outdone, in carnage set 

What be it for, in religions divide 
But for drama in tribal stands 

To add to the drama, of caricature holds 
Of once premier and call on prophets..

No, I am not of religion..

None for that sake, I can not be indulged..

And find my weight tilting on sides..

On any given ends, given on sight..

But for the child 
Whose red has poured..

I find my weight of thought 
Just so drawn, in heart felt passion..

If just for jokes, was it for jokes..

Surely by now, indeed by now 
Comedy has long, moved on 
And lost his spark, in promises made 

I guess in the heavens, time of man

Is just a tick, awaiting a tock..

And the light of day, has still to come..
Just for jokes, was it for jokes..
