The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

I only make fun of you out of love.
You hear my full unfiltered dialect during roast sessions.
My comedy is never-ending.
I will joke about your car, your clothes, your hair,
Your laugh, your partner, you almost falling, etc.

But don't fault me.
And stop being so serious.
I got this from the people before me.

I heard my ancestors had the best jokes,
Jokes to uplift the worst pain.
Jokes to keep everyone crying laughing, to keep from crying.
