Some men seek a hearty laugh
where their stomachs churn
and tickle
Humor shudders from below
as their gut bellows
Oh, what a jolly fellow
He forgot his qualms
Soul balms for men

-------------------

I like to pretend
in my mind
and invent these psalms
Touching the hands
of Father Time
And as the wise man
reaches to return my stride
I head straight in
and tickle his side
