GSOH

I've a good sense of humour he said
Stated it proudly on his profile
But their date was stilted and awkward
And none of her jokes made him smile

She asked about favourite comedians
The top five that guaranteed him a laugh
He looked at her with obvious bewilderment
Then said, 'Please don't be daft...'

'You have to take your humour seriously
Go to comedy nights at a club
Don't try and spread jokes willy nilly,
make quips or have a laugh down the pub.'

.....

They ate their meal in silence
She stared at her empty plate
No punchline saved them
Or their awkward date
