NPM: We Are Not Amused
April is National Poetry Month. I intend to celebrate it by posting a poem every day. This one is by GK Chesterton.
We Are Not Amused
Puck and the woodland elves shall weep with me
For that lost joke I made in Ledborough Lane,
The joke that Mrs. Baines declined to see
Although I made it very loud and plain.
I made the joke again and yet again,
I analysed it, parsed it and explained:
I did my very best to entertain,
But Mrs. Baines would not be entertained.
