he watchedlistened to the comedian
on the tube
didnt care for
his schtick or shtick some say shtik
Germans says stuck Polacks says sztuka the
piece the thing his bit
but he didnt let his
dismay cat wasnt funny or not his kind of funny sideline him
he was fascinated by the performance of the stool behind the comedian
whats with comedians and stools as a sidekick holding a water bottle or a glass always thought to be booze a
mug believed to be coffee an ashtray holding a smouldering
cigarette or maybejust maybe the stools sole purpose is as a bludgeon to protect them if theyre attacked if someone in the audience takes exception to
their humour
if someone at a comedy show takes exception they should never have
entered
kinda like life
take exception
to it it aint funny Well ya
shouldntve come in shouldve stayed where
you were Life demands thick skin Thinskinned Aint gonna do well Sensitive Aint gonna do well Move it along Cuz aint a damn thing funnier than life an
the fuckups who inhabit it
yet the stoolsmaybe theythe comedians
believe stools are more stable if
they have four legs not really three legs are better than four still comedians perform with four-legged
stools but they aint street performers they perform on stage Appearing Tonight on hardwood floors
he couldnt help but wonder if they were dragged outsidedragged their
stools with em in the dirt on
cobblestones on illmaintained
pavement cracked and buckling a four-legged stool would wobblewould be unsteady they might toss what they held
not a three-legged stool
as he watched the not-funny
comedian perform he thought of other comedians he saw
four-legged
Ahwell if the cat had been funny it never would
have occurred to him to watch the quiet inanimate stool behind him and wonder the thoughts he did
