a misfortune
someone's pain
the absurd
the insane
why are they all so funny?

a teacher testifies
a kilometer is longer than a mile
a kid hatches a plan
for kicks, it's a trick, it's not hostile
armed only with a mic
they react to her act with a thousand smiles

like some overgrown and crazy heathens
they laugh at things that are barbarious
for some unknown and crazy reason
that was strange and weird but hilarious
haaayyyyyyy!!!!ayay!!!

something is urgent
he runs and he slips - damn banana peel
the late night performers
their profession is impression, the semblance is unreal
they hate each other
the remark is sharp, yet the laughter peals
