JOKE POEM
Prompt - Joke Poem : What did the wall say to the other wall? Meet me at the corner! Write something inspired by a favourite joke.
I went out to get some black paint
The guy in the shop said we ain't
Got any that dark
Would this hit the mark
A beautiful red that's real quaint?
Such daftness I cannot abide
I really tried not to be snide
But there was no way
So I heard myself say
No problem, my bike's there outside
Based on an old joke I loved as a kid :
A man goes into a shop and asks for a rtine of black paint. The man in the shop says "sorry, sir, we don't have any black paint at the moment, would a tin of red do?". To which the customer replies "That's OK, I've left my bike outside".
This became a standard response in our family when someone (usually my mother) suddenly came out with something totally irrelevant to the conversation. Probably cemented my love of sarcasm as well...
