The Standup Does Poetry

"...That was during my

One word poem period...(laughter)

Poems like

'Yawp' (laughter)

And

'Woof.' (laughter)

My favorite was a love poem...

To myself...(laughter) called

'I'... (much laughter)

What was great about that

Was, it was a single character

Love letter...(rim shot followed by groans)

But seriously folks...

The only problem with those poems

Was there was just so much left to say after that one word...

Take that love poem...

I couldn't help but feel that it absolutely screamed

For the word

'Me'...(laughter)
