Bottom of the Humor Barrel!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Scrapping the...

"

What to write about, in a funny way; not writing funny,

 

a funny subject; I'm sitting here, staring at the computer screen,

 

with several asinine ideas flitting through my head;

 

I'll start writing, and before too long, I'll hit 'delete',

 

for my ideas all suck!  One unfunny idea after the other,

 

unless you'd find a story about a talking Brussels sprout

 

funny; that was one of my winner ideas; so you see?

 

I got nothing!

Thanks, and if you find this frightening, just think how I feel; I live with it every day; lol!
Edgar, a Brussels sprout, argued with his friend, a carrot named Brandywine."I will be served with cheese sauce, a triumphant taste treat."
"I will be candied," Brandywine retorted, "a delicate delight."
"Pooh on both of you," a potatoe named Madeline snorted. "I can be baked, broiled, fried, roasted, stuffed. I can be made into salad, soup, chips. Who's who around here now?"
Edgar and Brandywine had nothing to say, but Madeline kept on talking.
Until the rumbling tones of Horace the oak tree stopped her. "I can't be used for anything except shade and climbing. But I'll be here long after the rest of you are picked, dug, uprooted, eaten and forgotten.

And they were, and he was.

I write for fun; I write comedy pieces and some dramatic stuff. I have no formal writing education, and I have a fear of being told I suck, and maybe I should give up on writing, and get a job makin.. more..
